Why does Scene 3 insist on showing up as Scene 4 in Scene 3s place?
CJLu: This isn't about the Story View issue, but there is something that might simplify your programming.

I am using hotspots over images with states.
It sounds like the user needs to choose from among separate images.
If that's the case, why use hotspots at all? The action(s) that happen when the user clicks a hotspot (for example, jumping to a scene) could be triggered to run when the user clicks the image. That would let you take advantage of the automatic functionality that comes with using built-in states, such as the image automatically changing to the Selected state when clicked. And, if only one should be selected, you could put them in a button set. Or an image could automatically change to the Visited state.
Even if you don't need that automatic functionality, you'll still have fewer objects to deal with if they user can just click an image instead of a hotspot over an image.
