Re: backgrounds

First of all, different backgrounds are made in the "Costumes" tab.
When you've made the background, drag in bricks kinda like this:

<when green flag clicked>
<switch to costume[ Background 1

That'll change to the background called "Background 1" when you click the Green Flag.
That's all the help I can give you without knowing exactly what you're doing. Sorry  sad

Re: backgrounds

Oh... You Have You Sprites Stuck To The Background. You Need To Create New Sprites and not use the stage or 1 sprite as all of them.

Sorry, but I can't stand people who capitalize every word. But it's nice to see somebody helping! My Scratch education was 5 months of "What does this block do?" trial 'n' error...  tongue

Re: backgrounds

You might be thinking that a sprite belongs with the background where you made it, then you get new sprites when you make new backgrounds.  Instead, it is more like the sprites are actors on a stage.  The scenery might change behind them, but you can still see them on the stage in front of it.

If you want some different actors in the second scene, you can have your first sprites hide when the background switches (that means learning how to use "broadcast") and make new ones.  You can also have the same sprites put on new costumes, then write new scripts for them.

K. So what you do for the sprite Do this script:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<go to front>
[/blocks]
DO NOT DO IT FOR BACKGROUND.  smile
Then Its Fixed  yikes
