Scratch

Hi,

Basically, you just have either a variable that controls the "level" or "stage" or whatever, or you can use broadcasting, like this:

To put in your character:

When gf clicked
If < touching? [door v]>
Broadcast [next BG v]
End

When I receive [next BG v]
next background

Make a sprite called door. Make your background look like the inside of a house or wherever you want it to be, but have a hole in the wall that is the same size and shape as the door. Drag the door so that it is perfectly inline with the hole and leave it there. Go into motion and click on the checkboxs by x position and y position. Make a note of both. Make a new background that is outside the house, with ahother hole in the wall of the house, the same size. Move the door to that hole and make a note of the x pos and y pos. Make a character and use the if key [ (up arrow / left arrow e.t.c. v] pressed change x or y by 2 or -2 so that the chracter moves with the arrow keys. Put these all in a forever, connected to a when gf clicked. On the door put when gf clicked,forever: go to x(the first x pos you noted) y(the first y pos), wait until touching character, broadcast [next v], go to x(second x) y(second y), wait until not touching charcter, wait until touching character, broadcast [back v].
On the background put when gf clicked switch to background background 1. When I recieve next, next background. When I recieve back, switch to background ((background #) -(1)). Finally in the character put when I recieve next, go to x(second x) y(secon y). When I recieve back, goto x(first x) y( first y). If you don't understand any of that, I'll make a sample project for you. 

To make a new background you go to stage (near where all the sprites are) and go to backgrounds (near the top) in the bar that has scripts and sounds. You should now see a white background. Click on edit to change this. Alternatively, you can paint, import or take a picture to make a totally new background.
