If you are making a game with scrolling, you should probably get used to 
the idea that you will be re-drawing everything every time.

If I understand correctly, you are asking about how to redraw the 
background and forgeground but NOT the player when you scroll, right? 
But any scrolling implies that the character is going to be moving too.

...or maybe I misunderstand what you are trying to do.
