Okay, Im trying to find the most practical method of making my platform game have a scrolling background/environment. I was thinking of putting everything that I want to scroll inside a movieclip(limits, enemies, objects etc) and then just telling that movieclip to move when the hero reaches a certain place on screen. I was just wondering if this would be a practical method or if there is some easier way to tell all the objects to move?  
Any input would be nice.  
Thanks!
