Tile360 - need help

Hi Guys ! I have read some tutorials on tile-based games, but I have this question on how to make them like a panorama effect. For examples I have this map, when going to the outerlimits of the screen it will scroll horizontal (left+right). The character will remain in the middle of the screen at all time. but when clicked on a ''hotspot'' on the screen the tiles would scroll towards the character. I am quite new in games-programming, some links or source code would be very appriciated. I have been programming in visual basic, pascal, flash actionscript, but however these were all boring applications. Hope to hear from you guys soon Thanx in advance... -----------------------=[On this world you walk alone, but with many more....
