By end, do you mean the edge? If so, here's a way to do it.

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v]?> then
next backdrop
wait until <not <touching [edge v]?>>
end
end

Thanks for the info also yes I meant edge but when I'm using it it keeps going into a loop how to make it so that it doesnt keep going and stops at a certain one.

Don't use

next backdrop

Use A Variable Called Stage
In Backdrop

when green flag clicked
set [ Stage] to [1]
when I receive [next stage]
switch backdrop to (Stage)

In Player:

when green flag clicked
forever
if <[(x position)] > [239]> then
set x to (-239)
change [Stage] by (1)
broadcast [Next Stage]
end
if <[(x position)] < [-239]> then
set x to (239)
change [Stage] by (-1)
broadcast [Next Stage]
end

Why don't use next backdrop?

Do this instead:

when gf clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v]> then
next backdrop
stop [this script v]

So the loop stops after the backdrop changes.

Stopping the Script Means They Can't Change The Level Again.
Using A Variable Means That The Level Can Be Easily Toggled

this is how you do it

when green flag clicked
forever
if <(x position) > > then
switch backdrop to
end
end

HYTHON123

when green flag clicked
forever
if <touching [edge v] ?> then
next backdrop
stop [this script v]
end
end

try

if <touching [edge v]> then
next backdrop
move (-10) steps
