Scenes - why are they displaying this way?

According to that, there is at least one link in scene 1 that links to someplace in scene 5, and one to scene 2. Because the scene 5 link comes first, scene 5 displays on the left. By "comes first" I do not mean in program flow. It is an internal method of keeping track of the objects that hold the triggers. I think it is probably the alphabetic order of object names, or the order the objects were created, but I'm not yet exactly sure.

The point is that the flow of your program is controlled by the triggers, not by StoryView.

Although Storyview drives our OCD friends  to the brink of despair, remember: WHAT YOU SEE IN STORYVIEW IS IN NO WAY RELATED TO PROGRAM FLOW DETERMINATION. It is merely a visual representation of how the triggers are set up.

There is VERY little about program flow that you can change from StoryView. If you have a trigger that jumps to the next slide, you can identify which slide is next by dragging it. Otherwise, almost anything you do in StoryView to change program flow is wasted effort and can be VERY frustrating.

If you want to change program flow, find and change the triggers that control it.

AH!!  I did a little LOL, well really loud LOL and my colleagues were wondering what I was laughing at.  It's the OCD comment because I was about to do something crazy since I couldn't figure it out!

Your explanation is awesome.  Thank you!

Walt, your explanation made me LOL too - and for a long time I tried to make sense of it as well, but again - it's one of those things to take a deep breath, and let it go... :-)

I discovered that one slide was erroneously linked to Scene 5 as you mentioned.  Fixed that and now my OCD is settling down.. :-)  Thanks again!

GAHHHH!!! My OCD is on fire and shows ZERO inklings of being tamed. Cannot. deal. with. illogical. number sequence.

I've even deleted the scene and recreated it in the hopes that the program will realize that it was wrong and I was right: 6 DOES come after 5. Driving me crazy, I tell you.

And no answers here to try. Crying. Crying and dying inside.

Hi Jazzmine

try this

1. Save the file
2. in storyview highlight scene 5 right click > cut
3. hightlight scene 4 right click > paste

Oh my gosh. Sweet relief. The program is always right. I am wrong. There were faulty triggers in the welcome intro.

Thank you, Lord.

And thank you for trying to help, Wendy! If I ever run into this again and it's not a user error, I will be sure to try that.

Glad you're all sorted Jazzmine😎
