Problems with backgrounds
Hello. I am a parent helping supervise a school scratch project. The students built a program acting out scenes of a play. We keep getting errors when changing backgrounds. They get a Message Not Understood: Primitive Fail with a yellow X over a red screen. Any ideas?

Re: Problems with backgrounds
Hmm, sounds like a bug too me. 
How are you changing backgrounds? With the blocks, or by clicking?

I would sugget uninstalling and reinstalling scratch, and I mean "uninstalling" not "deleting" because there's a difference. Make sure you save the game to a USB drive.

That's a weird glitch. Never seen it before. Do what turkey3 said. That's probably the only solution.

Re: Problems with backgrounds
I got that once. Were you working with this block (with any of the dropdown options)?
