I need help with the next button

In my new game, I'm starting off with someone talking to you. I made a next button, but when you click it, it goes directly from the first slide to the last!  The programming is "When I receive go, switch to backround Intro, wait until mouse down?, Switch to backround Setting scene," etc.

How do I get the next button to work?

Re: I need help with the next button

Perhaps you could upload the project that is giving you the problem?  It's a lot easier to debug a project when you can see the scripts  smile

Re: I need help with the next button

It's hard to tell with just that one part of the script, but do you have something like this?

The <mouse down?> block activates while the mouse button is held down, not when it's clicked. It might be cycling through costumes too fast for you to see.

If that's the case, you'll have to use something like this:

EDIT: I saw your project and that was the problem  tongue  Just use this to fix it.

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.
