Hi,
I've been having issues with a scratch project. Whenever I attempt to access the backgrounds on the stage, it comes up with an error message "Message Not Understood: primitive fail". The project currently has 20 backgrounds: is this a limitation of scratch?
I would upload the code (if someone can tell me how) - why can't I attach the file (or am I being a bit thick?)

There's no 20 background limit in Scratch...many projects have far more. There is a total size limitation of 10Mb - but you should get an error message that tells you that if you are running into that limit.

Your bug sounds more like a corrupted version of Scratch. Were you working with a modified version of it by any chance? To upload the project, there should be Share button - if there isn't, that's another indication that maybe you are working with a modified version of Scratch (which aren't allowed to share to the website).

Hi
The actual project is on a memory stick, as it is actually one of my pupils who has done this at school. Is there anyway I can attach it from a memory stick or is it better to wait unitl I am in school and get him to attach it. I will obviously check the verson in school to see if that is the issue.

I have just tried to upload it in school and it has come up with a "message not understood - primitive fail"
Please help
