U should add a loadImage before that game startup in the main file. and then drawimage in stage.bb (in the bottom near the progress bar code)
be sure u put load image in sth.bb in a global
global back = LoadImage("path")
DrawImage back,x,y,z
and to scale it, use resizeImage(something like that) then use the screen resolution varibles. (after graphics in sth.bb)

Didn't worked at all for me

in sonicthehedgehog.bb exactly after ;entry point add
Global LoadingBack = LoadImage("Interface\Background_01.png")
that's what load the image to the memory.
then in stage.bb go to
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Game_Stage_UpdateProgressBar
; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and after ; Draw message at center
Add: DrawImage LoadingBack,0,0,0
which shows the image
and just after it:
ResizeImage LoadingBack, GAME_WINDOW_W, GAME_WINDOW_H
which resizes the image

Thanks a lot dude, still I had to remove the resize part cause it was really laggy.

Now, I don't know if it's because of that but whenever I compile an exe it doesn't work and I get memory acces violation...but in works when playing from the code source.
