Hi,

As you'll realise, the sprite channels (numbered rows in the Score) represent a 
layering of visual media. The lower the
number, the lower the layer order. So, sprite 1 will be at the bottom, sprite 2 
above sprite 1, sprite 3 above sprite 2 and
so on. There is no way to set a background image other than putting the graphic 
at the bottom most channel. You can set the
background colour of the stage in the Property Inspector.

I have some beginner level tutorials at (tuts 1-12):
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/
These cover various aspects of sprites and properties. So may be helpful in 
getting familiar with Director.
