I found that project very simple, it didn't make it hard. Just study the scripts.

Basically scrolling is just looping environments. For a new Scratcher, I recommend not making it on your own, but using what the project gives you and experimenting. Then once you've figured it out you can use the project as a guideline to create the scripts. Hope this helped 

Even you make it sound hard. You are moving a set of sprites in unison, that is it (unless you are just using 2 sprites but that is also not super hard).

I helped write the scrolling article in the scratch wiki and I thought the part on the "traditional method" was clear. I don't think you need to explain what the is going on when all the script says is "move to x: terrain*1 + scrollX" because it is so clear that you can't break it down anymore.

I think you should look at the script but more importantly understand the concept.

To get a "simple" answer you need to simplify your question because scrolling is not just one thing but can be done many different ways. Tell us what you want to scroll and we will hook you up with an explanation that makes sense to you
