How create multiple scenes?

Hi,

I am a fifth grade teacher and want my students to be able to create stories using scratch.  I am having trouble figuring out how to create multiple scenes.  Where do I go to create a second scene and how do I connect these scenes?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Re: How create multiple scenes?

I do not fully understand your problem. Do you have different backgrounds for them? If so, use this:

___Background___

Make every sprite start what it's doing (when needed) at the brodcast Scene1 (for scene1)

When scene 1 ends, brodcast scene2, then make all sprites in scene2 have a script starting with the brodcast scene2

Re: How create multiple scenes?

owetre18 explained this pretty well. You can have a the last sprite in a sequence broadcast a message when its part is over, indicating that it should move to the next scene. Then, any sprite or script on the stage related to that scene can receive that broadcast and do whatever they need to do to change the background or take part in that scene. You think of them as stage cues, in a way.

Another thing you can do is to download Lightnin's project and remix it. You'll learn from the scripting and have an easy time editing it  big_smile

Re: How create multiple scenes?

Thank you so much to you both.  Being able to see the Lightnin's project was especially helpful in that it showed me how to use the arrow keys to switch between scenes.
