Trash Can.svg The block documented in this article is a hidden block, meaning that while it technically still exists in the latest version of Scratch (3.0), it is not available in the palette. Additionally, this block no longer has any functionality.

The X scroll block's appearance in Scratch 3.0.

The X Scroll block was a Sensing block and a Reporter block. The block reported how far right the stage was scrolled. If it had been scrolled left, a negative number is returned. It was removed late in the alpha.

When the block was originally introduced, it was a motion block. This lasted for two version before the block was changed to a Sensing block in v154. When obsolete blocks were added in 3.0 for compatibility as hidden blocks, the block was re-introduced as a motion block rather than a Sensing block.
