The Scroller class code can be found here. It is well documented; so, it should not be too difficult to follow. You would be using a (limited = true) scrolling world.

Ok thanks! I already can scroll the background with this in my actor:

if(segundoMapa){
if(getY() > 459 && Greenfoot.isKeyDown("right")){
    ((Episodio_1_2)getWorld()).scroll();
 }
}
I'll be looking at how to make the scroll go back when the actor goes to the left and goes forward when the actor goes right. But i have a question, How I cant make the "walls" dont move? Like I already add:
?
1
public void setLocation(int x, int y) { }
On the wall's class. Thanks for the help!

I think what you are trying to say is that you do not want the walls to maintain their positions with respect to the screen, which means you want them to scroll with the background. In that case, you do not want the 'setLocation' method in the class of the wall. That line is only placed into classes that create object that you want to maintain the same position on the screen at all times.

Instead of calling the Episodio_1_2 scroll method from the actor class, it would be better called from the act method of the Episodio_1_2 class. Maintain a reference to the actor that is to be maintain in the center of the screen and determine the amount to scroll by the offset amounts of its position from the center:

// instance reference field in Episodio_1_2 class
Actor scrollActor = null; // assigned an actor in the constructor of the class
 
// in act
scroll();
 
// the scroll method
private void scroll()
{
    if (scrollActor == null || scrollActor.getWorld() != this) return;
    int dsx = scrollActor.getX()-WIDE/2; // horizontal offset from center screen
    int dsy = scrollActor.getY()-HIGH/2; // vertical offset from center screen
    scroller.scroll(dsx, dsy);
}

Thanks! About the "walls", I want them to be kept in the same position as they are. In this image the "walls" are objects for block the walk of the character:

        } else {
        setLocation(getX(), getY() - speed);
        }
    }
And about the walk, I trying when the actor cross the A line, the scroll goes to right, and if the actor cross the B line, the scroll goes left. Thanks for the help!

Replace lines 11 and 12 of my last code post to:

int dsx = 0;
int dsy = 0;
if (getX() < bLineX) dsx = getX()-bLineX;
if (getX() > aLineX) dsx = getX()-aLineX;
An easy movement code for the actor might be:

Thanks for the movement code! It's much better than mine. About the scroll, where I define bLineX and aLineX? Also, the getX() appear "cannot find symbol method",
?

aLineX and bLineX are the x coordinates of these red lines. Add a 'scrollActor.' before all 'getX()' instances.

Thanks! All is OK! But I still have a problem with the walls. First, this is the positions of them: Then, when I walk to the right, and back to the left, the "walls" stay like this: How I can fix that? Thanks!

Maybe you could try to change...
?
1
super(800, 622, 1);
...to...
?
1
super(800, 622, 1, false);
Then the walls should be able to leave the visible part of the world.

Thanks!! It works! Now I have another question, how I can make walls for all the map? I have the large wall up, but i need create another wall below. Like: And: In first, is easy because the world is created with the walls, but while the actor walk to the right, how I can create new walls? In the positions of those red square? I tried but the X and Y change according as the actor move. Thanks!

They are part of the same world, you can add them when the world is created as well.
