Ah, thanks Adam I didn't see that article before. I'm curious though, since I've never created any new layers for my game would that mean that everything would be considered background stuff if I made a second layer to one of the frames? I'll go and test this out myself right now.

Have you used Photoshop? basically you can drag and drop layers in a layers window (I believe the shortcut to make this appear is ctrl and k) the layers go in order, so any objects whether it be backdrop or active etc will be in the layer you put them in and remain there. So you can put actives under backdrop images and all that jazz. You can also move objects through layers during runtime with a bit of simple programming.
