first make the platform normaly then use the shrink feature and then add more platforms so then the set size to 160 pecent script makes it larger than the screen.
Example:http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ftf841/2508549 it only uses one platform for the ground

Cool, thanks!

Cool! I have never made a scroller before. I might try one. Are they hard?

Actually, they aren't hard at all. I found this tutorial that is SUPER SIMPLE on youtube, but after that you could fiddle around and do way more advanced things.

one of the most common things put on help with scrips are help with scroller.so i wanted to create a thread with tips to create a scroller.

some people think that you need lots of platforms to create a scroller. this is not always true. I mostly only use a couple platforms. so here is how to do that. first make a platform the size of the screen. then shrink it and then add more repeat this process untill you have what you need then for the ground then make a varible called scrollX then put this script in for the ground

when gf clicked
set size to [160] %
forever
set X to (scrollX)

then for the character put this script

forever
if <key [left arrow v] pressed ?>
change [scrollX v]by [4]
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed ?>
change [scrollX v] by [-4]
end

Can't you use the

when gf clicked
forever
set x to ((scroll x) + ((480) * ()))

when gf clicked
forever
if <key [left arrow v] pressed ?>
change [scroll x v] by ()
end
if <key [right arrow v] pressed ?>
change [scroll x v] by ()
end

method?

yah but it's a lot more work
