To make a section scroll horizontally to the right when clicking an arrow in Webflow's "Movies Template" page on tablet and phone mode, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the element or section that you want to scroll horizontally.
  2. Go to the "Settings" panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer.
  3. Under the "Position" section, make sure that the element or section has a specific width set, either in pixels or percentage.
  4. Set the "Overflow" property to "hidden". This will hide any content that extends beyond the set width.
  5. Add a "div" block within the selected element or section. This will act as the container for the content that needs to be scrolled horizontally.
  6. Give the "div" block a class name and set its width accordingly, making it wider than the parent element's width.
  7. Set the "Overflow" property of the "div" block to "scroll" or "auto". This will enable horizontal scrolling for the content within the block.
  8. Inside the "div" block, add the content or elements that you want to be scrollable horizontally.
  9. Add an arrow element (such as a button or icon) outside the scrollable section, which will trigger the scrolling action.
  10. Select the arrow element and go to the "Interactions" panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer.
  11. Create a new interaction for the arrow element, such as a click interaction.
  12. Set the action of the interaction to "Scroll into view" and select the target element. Make sure the target element is the scrollable "div" block within the section.
  13. Specify the direction of the scroll as "Right". This will make the section scroll horizontally to the right when the arrow is clicked.
  14. Preview and test the interaction to ensure that the section scrolls horizontally to the right when the arrow is clicked.

By following these steps, you can create a section that scrolls horizontally to the right when clicking an arrow in the Webflow "Movies Template" page on tablet and phone mode.
