Basically you'll use arrays to store level data, the have a variable called 'camera' or something that tells what part of the level you want to display on the screen.

There's a really good example created by CS_TBL in the tutorials section, and is definitely worth a look.

If you're not comfortable working with arrays and data blocks, then you might want to work on simpler games first. Then, once you understand data storage better, scrolling will come easily.
