Scratch

Try using this script:

This will make the sprite always move with the background.

For the second question, rather than using the "change x by" script, use these:

Again, replace 1 and -1 with however much you want the character to move.

Assuming you're only scrolling by the X axis, you won't need the Wherey variable at all. Does that make sense?

Sorry, I completely forgot there's a much better way of doing that script! Disregard that other post - my mistake 



You'll need to replace the "10"s with the Scrollx and Scrolly where the sprite should be in the center of the screen. The best way to find that is to move until you find the spot where the sprite should appear, then replace the "10"s with the current Scrollx and Scrolly values. Then, adjust the numbers until it's in the right place!

Is that what you're looking for?

Scrollx and Scrolly are used kind of like how (I think) you're using Wherex and Wherey - they're used to mark the camera's position. Rather than using the move 10 steps block to move the background, you'd change Scrollx and Scrolly and make the background sprite(s) set their X and Y accordingly (see this project for an example). I just assumed you were using those, sorry. But if that works, you can still use that same script, just with the block to detect the X and Y positions of the background sprite, and put those in place of the Scrollx and Scrolly blocks.

I'd imagine that would work - it's kind of hard without knowing exactly what you're using to scroll.

That's what that script is supposed to do, but you were just using a different method of scrolling than that works for. Here - I've uploaded a project that should work for you: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/hmnwilson/1488033

Both of you, thanks for the help. The scrolling really works-Thanks so much!
