If you go to the top right of this page (the small hourglass type icon) that's a search area...just type in scrolling background and it will bring up a few demos/examples.

If you wanted an animated background that continuously scrolls you will need to make an actor (say 480x320) that has 'animate' command. In that animate area you can add the different frames of the animation.

If you have one big image and you want the background scroll depending on the main player then you need to give your player the 'Control Camera' behavior and then (on the main 'game' area) make the layer that the background image is on 'scrollable' by ticking the little box.

The tutorials will explain more but I hope it helps.
