You can't separate "flats and stuff" from the regular scale!. See:

Scales do not have a constant fingering!. It depends on the key signature and number of octaves of the scale you are playing!. Although it can be difficult at first, try listening to yourself play to know where the notes are!. For the key signatures, try to find a copy of the circle of fifths on the internet, it is very helpful!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
