Since your main character is to remain in the middle, the easiest way to control the scrolling is by letting the main character move like a normal actor with user control, but then have the world move the character back to the middle and adjust the background image and move the other actors using the same offsets. A check must be in place for the background image reaching the edge of the world which would stop the scrolling. Also a check must be in place for the main actor reaching the edge of the world after the background image has reached that edge. There are several scrolling engines and support classes on the site that you could look at or even implement. Just search 'scroll'.

Please if anyone can write a simple programm that scroll screen over a map controller by arrow keys!
That's a great idea. Come up with an idea for a game and then ask someone to write it for you. THEN publish it as your game. I like it.

But you should always start your game -- get the world set up, the variable declared, the graphics set, etc. Have you started looking through any of the "scrolling world" scenarios? There are some good ones.
