This should be in help with scripts but I'll help anyway 
try the following:


once that level has been beaten you could use a variable but it's simpler to use broadcasts but I'll do both 

broadcast:

when gf clicked//replace this with the level complete scripts
broadcast [next level v]

variables:

when gf clicked//replace this with the level complete scripts
set [level v] to [2]//if they had just beaten level 1 set the level to the next level
ignore this block//number - i.e. if they had just beaten level 1 then you would
ignore this block//set 'level' to 2

back to broadcast:

when I receive [next level v]
next background//you can replace this with 'switch to background...'

back to variables:

when gf clicked
forever
  if <(level) = [1]>
    switch to background [1]
    end
  if <(level) = [2]>
    switch to background [2]
    end
  if <(level) = [3]>
    switch to background [3]
    end
  if <(level) = [4]>
    switch to background [4]
    end

etc...If you have a title screen you can just modify that so it works 
(and btw the ignore this block's are just there so I can do the notes    )
Hope this helps,

Hello everyone
My name is Ali Malik, and I am a Cardiology research fellow at Cleveland Clinic.
A teacher, introduced me to scratch. I plan to make programs on scratch explaining basic concepts of medicine, especially cardiology.....

Hi everybody,

I'm Allie. I have a background in anatomy and physiology and I'm hoping to use Scratch to construct interactive maps of the human body.

By following some excellent tutorials on the use of ScrollX, I have created a detailed XY scrolling background (5 'terrains' across by 7 'terrains' down. It works beautifully.

I am now trying to position sprites at various points on the map. When clicked, these 'location sprites' show a photograph and/or text.

I understand that I need to 'fix' the 'location sprites' in position so that they stay in place when the player scrolls across the map. This is an example of the code I am using to make a sprite stay in one position:

go to x: ((X) - ((1 * 4go to x: ((X) - ((1 * 480) - 100)) y: ((Y) + ((0 * 360) - 140))80) - 100)) y: ((Y) + ((0 * 360) - 140))

This works (sort of!). The sprite appears on the appropriate terrain and I am able to run the next script to show a photo. However, as the player scrolls across the map, the 'location' sprite is just visible on the edge of the screen.

I suspect there is a better way to code a stationary sprite on a scrolling platform. Can anyone help?

Please be aware that I am a complete novice. I can follow instructions, but I am also keen to understand what's going on.

Many thanks.
