I know the best way of making a scrolling back ground is tile maps. but would the best way of doing it in a monkey islands style point and click be to use one large (long and thin) bitmap for the background you want to scroll and then offset all the x positions of the background image, objects and characters? the backgrounds are detailed and painted.
