Moving Background to the back!?

Ok, so I already had my game set up with the characters in the front and everything was working fine. I put in the background, still okay. Then I sized it to fit the screen, hit preview, and now my players are gone. I don't know what happened and I am getting frustrated trying to fix it. I'm sure it's something simple I've overlooked, but help is appreciated. Thanks

Also, is the background an actor, or did you just drag it in from the images list? That may not be relevent, but it might be a bug that makes it necessary.
