A little help please?
I'm a pretty experienced scratch maker- we got taught the basics at school and then I got into it. I learnt from trial and error. But I've been having this problem recently. I can't get my screen to scroll. I went onto YouTube to see if there was any tutorials but ScrollX just kept coming up. What is that? So I came up with a new idea so if you press- for example the left key- the sprite that looked like a background would move left. But I kept ending up with this stupid space and the sprite kept spazzing out and shaking randomly. After a bit I got so frustrated that I gave up (wich isn't like me). Please will someone just explain how you do it? Ahhhhhhhh- ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!! Thankyou

Re: A little help please?
This (link) is an explanation of scrolling: how to do it and why it works.
When you change the "scrollx" variable (the one that makes the background move), since the background is always going to scrollx plus a certain amount of screens-worth, it moves, producing a scrolling effect.
Hope this helps!
