Oh yeah :D. first, scrolling! Okay, scrolling is a bit more difficult then the other subjects that we have been working on. First, select the “char” again, and open his action panel. The next thing we will need is to set a scrolling speed, so in the “onLoad” we type the following:

```php
 scrollspeed = 5;

```

Ok, first, we need to set a speed for the scrolling. Select the [color=red]char [/color][color=black]and ope the actions. Then type in his onClipEvent(load) { the following:[/color]

```php
 scrollright = 5; 

```

then:

```php
 scrollleft = 5; 

```

and then to control if he is scrolling or not, we add, under the first two, the following:

```php
 scrolling = true; 

```

these will determine the speed for scrolling. Ok, now we start a new onClipEvent, and type the following for the scrolling right.

```php
 
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (scrolling) {
if (this._x>=250) {
// this says when he is at a certain area//
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
this.moveRight = 0;
//this says that he cant move right//
this.moveLeft = 5;
//this says that he can move left//
_root.bg._x -= scrollright;
//this controls the backround to scroll right//
_root.cop._x -= scrollright;
//this controls the cop to scroll right//
_root.limits._x -= scrollright;
//this controls the limits to scroll right//
scrollleft = 5;
}
  } else {
   this.moveRight = 5;
  }
 }
}

```
