Background image won't go to front

After laying down my background, I can't seem to get it to stay in the front of all other sprites.

I've tried zorder but no go...any suggestions?

Are you sure the background is on the same layer?

yes

but that does solve my problem.

Putting the background on a different layer

Not the same layer ? No action putting it in top of the layer ? If no, post a capx.

Joskin: I don't understand what you mean. "No action putting it in top of the layer"

if you mean is it on the top of the layer then yes, I have tried that.

I've tried putting the background on the top layer and moving all sprites to bottom layer.

sprites still stay on top of background.

The only solution I've had is to put the background on a separate layer

Your sprites can't stay on the top of background if they are on a bottom layer.

Are you creating your sprites dynamically ? If yes, check if it's the good layer set on the "create object action".

But yes, put the background on another layer is a good solution.
