Scratch

To make it scroll, try this: Learn Scrolling Now!.

To make it jump, download any platformer and search the scripts. Here's one: Cube Guy 2 - Wrong Dimension

To give it health, change the variable by -1 every time something bad happens, such as touching the color red or falling onto the bottom of the screen.

To work the platforms, click the second link; it'll tell you how as well. 

Hope that helped!

So hows that second link tell me how to jump? I downloaded it and I couldn't even find out how to jump

Hmm... try this link: SuperSprite CastleSiege!

Look at SuperSprite's scripts for the one that makes him jump.

Look at scripts 12 and 13... they work together. Number 12 controls the falling, and number 13 controls the jumping. Try the project as well.

Oh and also, with the jump thingy, what I've got to jump is:
When Uparrow Pressed
if background of stage = 1
if touching colour white
repeat10
change y by 6

Thats for uparrow to jump, then for right arrow to go right i have
When rightarrow pressed
point in direction 90
if on edge bounce
change x by 10


Now when I press Up and Right, it only goes up but not across and up?

So do you know how the platforms work? Do I look at one of yours?

No, because it's not the right style. 

Just download any classic platformer and examine the scripts! Here's a brief explanation:

Every platform has a specific color coating on the top.

The playing sprite has a color on their feet.

The player continuously falls if their feet are not on a platform.

The player will not fall if the feet color is touching the platform color.

I'm not good at explaining this stuff, but hopefully it helps. 

Hi last thing!, I have made a sprite to scroll, like it says (in ur scrolling project), the scripts the same as the one's you have there(for the scroll script), that all works n stuff, but how do I actually get the main sprite that moves around the scenes to move on from where you can see? it just runs into the wall and doesn't go further? do I need to do something to the sprite that's moving? Or do I need to do something with the background? Please help xD

Hmm... I'm a bit confused. If the sprite changes its X Position, delete the script. Otherwise it'll smack into the wall, and it won't scroll properly.
A scroller works by having the sprite remain stationary, and the platforms move by as you push the left and right arrow keys. Change the ScrollX rather than its X.

Sorry if I didn't explain it well; I'm not so sure what happened. Maybe you could word it differently?

Ok, the scripts to move left and right for the sprite that moves along backgrounds is:
When Left Arrow Pressed
Point in Direction -90
Move 12 steps

When Right Arrow Pressed
Point in direction 90
move 12 steps.

The ones for the scroller are the same as you'rs, but Im not sure what I need for the sprite that jumps and all to move along from where you can see,

Delete the player's scripts. The only thing you need is the background to move; the player stays stationary except for jumping (and falling), which is along the Y axis.

And whenever I press green flag my stage moving script disappears?

So how do I make the background move?

Extend the scrolling sprites so they look like full backgrounds.

You delete the scripts for the player. All it should be able to do is move up and down, while the sprites scroll around him; it gives the illusion of actual moving.

The background should be moving to always be moving to (variable name)x and y. (think this is how it works) This variable changes whenever you press left and right, giving the illusion of moving. Really all that is happening is the background is moving with you. Check out Archmage's projects for an example of this. Have you tried setting the variables to 0 first and moving the main sprite to that position?
