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.
Here I made you a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP1SKVwjRvI

you're having trouble tweening the other backgrounds or something else?

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.

So sorry, I haven't had time to try the fix -- other projects receiving priority. I'll let you know next week. Thank you so much for the suggestion.

I have 3 backgrounds on 3 layers. They are all converted to graphic symbols. (The files originally in JPG.) Each background runs 8 seconds, one after the other. On the first frame, the background is in one position. On the last frame, the background is in another position. I have added classic tweens to each. Only the first layer moves from right to left as I want it. Layers 2 and 3 do not move. I have tried locking the layer to no effect. I have tried changing the layer order to no effect. I don't know what else to do. If there is a tutorial that explains this, please let me know. Thank you.

Also, as you suggested, I have added an empty keyframe when the image ends after 8 seconds.

adding the empty keyframe was to help you change layers. apparently that now works?
tweening layers 2&3 is the same process as you used on the first layer.

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