better ways to scroll?

i was wondering your favorite ways to make a side scroller. currently, i use a scroll/offset variable to control the visibility and position of sprites. I don't really like explicitly coming up with coordinates for everything.

I tried to make a level outside Scratch and import the image in but it reduces the size of it to the size of the of the Scratch window. Is there a way to do this? Or possibility another way that is equally convenient?

Thanks.

Well, everything has to be at most the size of the screen (I think) so unfortunately you will have to cut up your custom-made level into chunks of 360x480 pixels.

Try to build a level with little sprites. I made an example here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/PaulKoning/3165227

Big sprites (480x24) will make your game slow.
