As for your game, try this script for the character:

<when green flag clicked>
<repeat until><touching[ line name
<if><key[ left arrow ]pressed?>
<change x by( 3
<end>
<if><key[ right arrow ]pressed?>
<change x by( -3
<end>
<end>
<broadcast[ new background

For the background:

<when green flag clicked>
<switch to costume[ background1

<when I receive[ new background
<switch to costume[ background2

Does that help?

That helps a lot thanks. It didn't quite work, but I think I see the problem. Three more questions however: If it doesn't work, is there some way I can post the game, and let others see the problem? And, is there a way to create random movement? Like one of those bouncing screensavers, where the ball rolls around randomly and bounces of the edges. And finally,how do I make it so when all enemys have been defeated, it goes to the next level. Does the next level have to be a new game? Thanks.

Well, as for your game posting, just click "share" and ask others to download it and find the problem. As for the random movement, you can use this script:

when (green flag) clicked
point in direction (pick random 0 to 360)
move 5 steps
forever
if on edge, bounce

For the enemies you just make a variable for each ie: Enemy 1 status, Enemy 2 status.
If the enemy is living then have the variable at 0, the second he dies change it to 1. Then enter this script:

[blocks]<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if><< <( <{ Enemy status 1 }> <=> 1 )> <and> << <( <{ Enemy status 2 }> <=> 1 )> <and> <( <{ Enemy status 3 }> <=> 1 )> >> >>
<broadcast[ Next level
<end>
<end>
