changing from one background to another

New to Animate, thanks for the help.  I am trying to animate a simple character walking.  Behind him is the background of a hallway.  It moves right to left as the character walks.  Then the character enters the bedroom which is a new background.  It also moves from right to left, then stops.  He interacts with another character and the background dissolves to another scene (background #3).  I'm having trouble getting from one background to the next.  I used new layers for the 2nd background (bedroom) and the 3rd background (new scene).  The classic tween works on the first background but not #s 2 or 3.  Can't find a tutorial that seems to address this.  Again, thanks.

    Make sure your backgrounds are in graphic symbols or movie clips to tween them and thier all on different layers.

    I’m having trouble getting rid of Background #1 while moving into Background #2; same from #2 to #3.  Also having trouble tweening Backgrounds #2 and #3.  Haven’t added the characters yet.  Trying to get the backgrounds functional before anything else.  Thank you.

    put the different backgrounds in different layers. add an empty keyframe where you want a background to end.
