How do you import an image as a background for a room?

The title pretty much speaks for itself.

You import it the same as you do all other sprites...then you either turn it into a tileset if it's for tiles, or drag it into an asset layer in the room editor to get it to draw in the room.

I think it would be a lot simpler to make it a Background layer. You still import it as a sprite, though.

Good point, though it doesn't fit all use cases. I probably should have mentioned it as on of the options.
