Instructions/How to play

hi,
I've only recently used Scratch without guidance and I have to make a game for my class work. I wanted to work on it through home but I am really having trouble from it.
I just need some help on how to make instructions. I have already written them onto a background and made little boxes with 'Start' and 'How to Play' but now I just need help with scripting them? I have got

 
when 'How to play' clicked
^^I tried my best with the orange one :L
And thats it. Anyone got any information on that? it'd really help  smile 
Thanks

Re: Instructions/How to play

You could try,

In the "How to play" button:

when how to play clicked
broadcast [instructions v]
In the Stage (background):
when gf clicked
switch to background [background1 v]

when I receive [instructions v]
switch to background [instructions v]
Broadcasts are like a way of sending messages to other sprites or the stage to tell them when to start a script. c: And in that last script, the dropdown should be set to the instructions background. You could then make a back button, and do the same thing except it's telling the stage to switch back to the menu background. Hope this helps!
