In 2D you don't scroll a camera. You move your background. You essentially have to determine programatically what you need to display based on the current position of the central focus of the scroll.

It's a little beyond what I have time to go into at the moment. Essentially it depends on whether you're using tiles or not. If so then you need to determine which tiles are currently in the view port and how much to shift them in whatever direction.

I haven't really looked into it but others here might have some pointers to some resources. If I were to do such a game I'd probably decide at the time how I'd do it depending largely on what my resources were and other things related to the graphics at hand.

General rule for support with general game related development is http://www.gamedev.net/. You'll have to sign up but it's all free and there are many forums for asking these kinds of questions and past articles that cover a large number of subjects.
