Storyview order has gone out of whack

Hi Sharon!  Don't worry-- we'll help you get your slides straightened out.  For starters, I wanted to drop this article from our User Guide about working in story view.  It has some information about working with scenes and slides.  

Also, maybe we need to take a look at your navigation between slides; story view will arrange slides based on how they advance and/or branch.  You might have triggers leading to specific slides that need to be adjusted to reflect the proper/updated order of your slides.

Could you share your .story file with us using the Add Attachment button, and we can take a look?

Bear in mind that the flow of your program is controlled by the triggers, not by StoryView, nor by the menu.
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.

Hi Walt,
Thanks for this. It was driving me crazy because I wanted to use the
flow to show as a milestone in my project - so that ain't happening!
Kind regards,
Sharon

Hi Sharon!

Looks like you are replying via e-mail and your attachments will not make it through to the forums in this way.

Be sure to pop into the forums and utilize the 'Add Attachment' option on the bottom left.

Hey Leslie!

When I try and attach it, the error message says It's in use by another programme. :(

What the...? I can't open it myself

Yes. Be sure to close the project that you are attaching to the forums and it should work for you Sharon.
