Parts of tutorials not working

I am extremely new to Defold and was trying to do the side-scroller tutorial, but when I load the game (not having made any changes yet) the spaceship is invisible. I can tell it’s there, because it collects stars, and I can move it with the up and down keys, but I can’t see it.
I then tried the walking astronaut tutorial, and while I can see the astronaut and animation, I cannot see the background tiles (the screen is black other than the astronaut) and even when I put in the code to make it move, nothing happens.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Check to see if the ship and the background are at different z positions? Like 0.1 and 0.2. You can upload the current version of the project to somewhere as a zip for someone to look at.
