It's not the ebook that has to be set up special for scrolling support...it's the device or app that needs to support the function. My iOS reader of choice, Marvin, handles it automatically on any ePub when I choose "scrolling" instead of "paging" in the software's settings.

edit: The viewing or reading functions, scrolling vs. paging, should not be confused with whether it is a fixed layout or reflowable book. It is perfectly possible to have a reflowable book being viewed in a scrolling manner - where the (vertical) scroll bar is either a means of navigation or just an indicator of your place in the document. The reflowable function would apply if/when the font size changed, or the width of the screen changed (portrait/landscape), etc. The number of words on a given line might change which in-turn changes the "length" of the document thus causing the scrollbar to cover more, or less, landscape when it moves.
