You shouldn't need both and if the variable is true your forever loop is going to switch backdrops very quickly, non-stop. Best if you share the project so we can see what you're doing.

The next backdrop block just switches to the next backdrop; just like how the next costume block switches to the next costume :)

This changes the backdrop to the next backdrop in the backdrop tab once.
