Advice on side scrolling

hi,

I'm thinking of making a side scrolling game for my final project (either platform game or side scrolling shooter).

Before I formally choose the project I want to make a small simple demo just to get in perspective the scale of what I'm letting myself in for.

I'll probably be using JPanel to paint my level and sprites and need some help onhow to make the background, enemies and scenery side scroll from right to left as the user holds down the right arrow key.

I'd realy appreciate it if someone could give me some technical detail (or point me to a good tutorial) to get me started.

cheers
