Re: "go to back" block
I agree. Scratch Team, add it to 1.4, please. It shouldn't be that hard - I think it's a defined Smalltalk command, not sure which though.

Re: "go to back" block
I think we should have more control over the layers. "go to layer" would be really useful too.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

On "Looks", they should add a (layer #) block along with the [go to layer (--)] one. Oh, and if possible, a (sprite on layer (--) ) block.

Yeah, that would open up tons of opportunites! Thanks for the idea!

What would [sprite on layer ( )] return? The name of the sprite? That would be useless, unless the ([property] of [sprite]) block were modified to allow a variable to be placed in the [sprite] parameter to allow dynamic targeting, which would be awesome!

you know how there is a <go to front> block? well i think there should be a block like that, only it says "go to back." what do you think?
I think that would confuse the scratch program because you can go back more than 1 layer so that's like telling someone "Go back!" without telling them how much!Nice try though!

Well, no. Say I have ten sprites on five different layers. It would automatically go to the sixth layer. But I see your point.
