I'm searching for a tutorial on camera movement - anyone got a link or tip?

Hi,
I am prototyping a little app idea and am searching for a tutorial that would help me learn how to control a camera that moves in the horizontal direction.

The trigger for the camera would be a small stripe at the bottom that never moves.
The scene itself will have actors placed across a very wide screen (maybe 5000 x 320) which pop up an image when clicked/taped on and close the image again when clicked ... something like that.

I looked at the Wiki How-tos but did not find what I am looking for.

Does anyone have a youtube or web link that explains this suff? I gather it's very basic and simple once i get the hang of it.

thanks

Thank you,
I just watched both parts and that is exactly what I need!

As a bonus, I learned that I don't need a stripe at the bottom which is reserved for scrolling because that can all be done anywhere on the screen!

Considering how small the iphone screen is, this is a HUGE advantage!

Now if you excuse me, I have stuff to do ;-)
