What software are you trying to use?  I have Photoshop Elements, but I had to deviate from the instructions given in order to make a scrolling avatar.  If you are using Photoshop Elements, I can type out or pm you to tell you what I did.

When I save mine, I click on 'save for web' in photoshop elements, and then tick a box which says 'animate' and select how quickly I want the animation to run.  I also have the choice of saving as a GIF or JPEG image - as far as I know you need to save as a GIF to have a scrolling image.

Correct, you need to save it as a gif.  To do so in ImageReady (cs2) - File > Save optimized as.  In the Save as type: box ensure it is Images Only (*gif) That should suffice :)

Are you saving the file as a jpeg before switching it into imageready?  Photoshop is odd in this way sometimes.  Create the new image with all your layers and don't save it, and then switch into imageready, see if that gives you the option to save as gif.

My offer to do it for you still stands, though you have all the software there, I'm not sure why it's not working ???
