background

<background> is a simple, very uncomplicated tag. Please note these backgrounds are not the ones that come with props, but instead, the ones that appear in scene settings.

Mandatory Attributes

• id The id for your asset. This is what will be used to find your file.
• name Your background's name. Type any valid string.
• enable If the asset will show up in menus. If you remove assets, it's likely better to set this to 'N' (false) instead of commenting out the assets for backwards compatibility. (Available options are 'Y' (true) or 'N' (false))

Optional Attributes

• category The category the background will appear in. Type any valid string.
• aid Intended to be a unique integer to represent the asset/action... however GoAnimate tended to get lazy with these, and they are useless for most cases. Was for GoAnimate4Schools censorship and not much else.
• default When the theme is loaded in the tray, if set to 'Y' (and provided no other backgrounds conflict), this will be the default background used for the theme. (default is 'F')

Example

<background category="My Special Category" id="my_bg.swf" name="My New Background" enable="Y" aid="15784"/>
