Starting Scene is Labeled as Scene 4 - How to Change to Scene "1"?

The user never sees the number, and it doesn't affect navigation, but you can change the number if you have to.

Cut the scene, (CTRL-X), then click where you want it, and paste it. 

Tried that, Walt; no luck.  The problem is that this negatively impacts the Player Menu.

I still can't get the Starting Scene to be labeled as "Scene 1" for some reason.

I've cut and pasted; it's in the right order in the View, but it won't renumber to Scene 1.

Hi Tony

have you selected the scene then clicked on the 'Starting Scene- flag' icon in the Story view tool bar

Hi Wendy.

Yes, I've done that several times.  If I select other scenes as the Starting Scene, everything renumbers fine.  When I select the scene that I need to be the Starting Scene, that's when it won't renumber (please see the attached screen shot).

I'm pulling my hair out!

Hi Tony

if you've done the steps above Walt suggested and he's right it's about the navigation links not the scene number and you're still not happy I would recommend creating a new project file and importing them in one by one in the order that you want. So that means selecting intro scene only on first pass, then next scene etc - if select them all at once it will just repeat what you have.

Note if you have a player theme you've created I would save and name that so you can apply it to the new file.

Hope that helps.

Or if it's the menu order you're worried up you can use the up / down arrows to move scenes around or click the reset from project icon in the bottom right corner

In the video, notice that changing the scene numbers does not change the position of the scenes in StoryView. That is changed only when I change the starting scene.

I should note that I have better luck moving the second scene than I do moving the first.

Try moving another scene into first place, then making it the starting scene. Then move the introduction scene to first and make it the starting scene.

If you've got only a couple of scenes, there's a manual work-around.

1. In Story View, right-click the stage, select New Scene. Storyline 2 adds a new scene to the end of the existing scenes.
2. Move all the slides from the previous scene into the new scene.
3. Move all slides from the next previous scene into the now empty scene.
4. Repeat the moves until Scene 1 is blank.
5. Move the slides you want to live in Scene 1 to what is now an empty Scene 1.
6. Delete the 'Untitled Slide' Storyline 2 added to the start of each new scene.
7. Save the project.

Not efficient, but it gets the job done relatively quickly in a project comprised of just a few scenes. Having the ability to renumber/resequence scenes would be a great new feature!
