Mounting a Background

#1 I don't know of a way to make an object unselectable in the editor. Have you tried using the object tree to select objects (under the Project pane)?

#2 Its not that I am having a hard time selecting things that are under it, its just that once and a while I will click off what I am using and select and move the background. Is there a way to code a layer not to move of be able to be selected in the editior?

#3 Click on the scene graph. On the right panel there is a list of layers with little eyes. If you click the eyes, the layers will disappear. That lets you edit a layer without worrying about clicking through to what's underneath. Just be sure to make the layer visible again before you run your game.

#4 I think you are using version 1.5, because in 1.1.3 does not have that in it. Also, I have tried hidding the layer, and I am still able to select it.

Is there a way to make the background part of the GUI while still keeping other things infront of it?

#5 I'm using 1.1.3 but I may be remembering things wrong.

You can add a second scene window to the scene. You can load levels into the background scene window and it won't affect the foreground scene window. You can have SceneWindow2D and BackgroundWindow2D.

#6 You could use a bitmapcontrol for the background (make sure its behind the scenewindow in your gui.
