openBackground ID in Behavior Script

[J. Landman Gay]

This is a message sent by the engine and it will provide the id of the 
background, which you can't specify yourself. The handler needs to use a 
valid parameter variable to catch that id,  and numbers won't work. It 
should be something like pID or similar which the engine can populate.

You can also call it from another handler if you want and in that case you 
can provide the id:

on doSometjing
  openBackground 1234
end doSomething
