I assume you have a virtual screen setup (using set_gfx_mode()) for the play
area?

Try blitting the background first to a buffer (memory bitmap) then use
draw_sprite() to copy the sprites to the buffer.  Then blit the buffer to
the screen then call scroll_screen to position the viewable part of the
screen.

Hope that this clears it up a bit,
