How do I make...
... a four way scroller that will let the character roam freely around the screen if the maxium x or y is reached?
Like, if you reached the end of the scrolling plane, it would let you move around (not scrolling) until you turned around and went the other way? Sorta hard to explain, I just need help 
I will give more detail later.
EDIT: Ah! I've got the perfect example: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/archmage/73387
I want that except 4 four scrolling

Re: How do I make...
Edited because I completey misread the OP, sorry. I thought you wanted a scroller that would allow the player to walk so far without scrolling, but start scrolling once you got close to the edge of the screen. Lol.

Just take a 4 way scroller, and set it to stop scrolling once you get to a limit. Personally, I would want to make it so that once it starts scrolling, the player begins moving back towards the center of the screen, maybe? Seems like I noticed that a long time ago when watching some scrolling game.
Here are three of my 4-way scroller project. None of them have the "walk then scroll" feature but it shouldn't be to difficult to add.

Re: How do I make...
Simply have limits to the area he walks in. Say the z max is 240, min is -240, y is 180 and -180. If it's in that zone it scrolls, otherwise it moves seperately. You need to make something like this for whenever an arrow is pressed: if (key) key pressed, if (x or y) < or > (depending on the button) limit, change (x or y) by 5, else change scroll(x or y) by 5.
