Scratch

Alright. I have no experience with side scrolling, but it could make a difference if you do this. On the maps, make the scripts with the right arrow 2 separate ones. Especially the ones near where the break is.

This might work, it might not.

You might also want to create a 2nd file to play around with.

I think it could be as easy as that you need to get rid of the = sign in the map scripts. Try If x position is less (<) than 0? Also, to get better performance you need to hide the maps that scroll out of view, among other things.

It moves in increments of three steps. The reason it only works sometimes is that because you use an = sign it jumps past it two times of three. The positions can be -2, -5, -8, -11, -14, -17, -19, oops, it skipped -18, which means it didn't change the MapNo. value or broadcast for the next map!

Take a look at the rescue ship code that Mayhem fixed up for me. If you can figure that out it should be easy peasy to make it move in one dimension.

Edit: And while I am at it, what's the point of that forever, wait 0.01 seconds in sprite four? It does nothing but eat up resources, that I can see at least...

Well I was looking at it and you REALLY overcomplicated it. It had a lot of unnecessary broadcasts and an unnecessary variable. For this type of side scroller where it can only scroll to one side the hiding of area sprites is very simple, just use layers to make them overlap. I fixed your project and the fixed version can be found @ http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archmage/32358

The best solutions are sometimes the simplest

The xplace variable determines how far the object goes to the right. You can adjust those numbers slightly but make sure you don't raise them too much or the pictures will have gaps between them.
