Need help creating a virtual camera for a player movement in a platformer game

Hi all,

I am making a platformer vertical scrolling game. In my game my main player character jumps on platforms and climbs up the platforms from ground to top. I am having trouble scrolling the background and the platforms as they are on different layers. What is the best way to create a platformer vertical scrolling game in as3. How can I scroll the background and platforms when my character jumps on the platforms to climb up and reach the top. Using a virtual camera help and how do i create it ? My platform collisions with the player is working great with the player shooting bullets on pressing SPACE is also working great. Only scrolling the platforms and bg is giving me trouble.

Please help its really very much urgent, I am trying to solve this since 2 weeks now.

Thank you
