Still sounds like something wrong with the behaviors. The word 'wrong' and 'glitch' can be very deceiving, since it sounds like something is not working with Gamesalad. But the case is probably that what you want to happen just isn't programmed to happen the way you think it should. That isn't meant as an insult, just that Gamesalad will only do what you tell it to, if you don't tell it to do something specifically it won't do it.
It sounds like you started your project before you knew how to scroll the screen, if that is the case consider starting over from scratch so you're sure you're behaviors are not conflicting with each other or causing errors. Or at least start a different test project to see if you can get the results you want, then if you do, apply those changes to your current project.
So this is how I did it Mr. @jamie_c: I made a new project, watched your 'moving while jumping' video, then I made my scene taller, and added 'control camera' to my character, then I made my tracking area 100x100, then I built the platforms, then I previewed and jumped to the highest platform to see if I could go up, but when I did get up the platforms disappeared, what was weird was that the camera did track me, I did keep going upwards, but the platfoms disappeared. I could still stand on them but they disappeared. So, it is working, but my platforms disappear. That is what I was calling a glitch. Although I probably didn't make that clear. I also watched you 'GUI' video and got that right in my game. So thanks for that:)

It snaps up to where he is instead of smoothly following him
Yah, glitch. Huugh
I doubt it's a glitch in GameSalad, think it's more likely that you simply have it set up wrong.
Yah, that is what I thought until I got the thing to work but my ground disappears:(
And it won't follow smoothly like @jamie_c's character in his video. It will follow but it snaps to me instead of following smoothly

Sounds very odd indeed. If you care to share your project I can take a look at it and see if I can help.
you want me to send a .zip?
or .gsproj?
I am also new with GS. So that might be the problem. lol
.zip would probably be best.
It says not allowed
Email me.
Ah! It's fixed! Hooray! I just need to move when I get on the top platform.
Thanks for the videos!
Glad to hear you got it.
