Hi.
As a fellow newcomer to construct and game development myself I can't tell you how to fix your problem (because I'm not 100% sure on how to fix it and I don't want to complicate the problem... Or I would help. :X) What I just did to help myself and suggest you look at is the downloadable "free resources" under the education tab. There's a curriculum in there for educators complete with worksheets that really goes in depth on the functions, behaviors, loops, etc. complete with examples. I learn best from reading and it may not be what your looking for, but it's a way to learn if you choose to use it.
