Screen Sticking to Main Menu

[ShadowBoxGames]

So, I'm trying to create a slightly complex menu system where, when the game is completed you have access to an 'Extras' screen. The Extras screen has a navigation separate from the standard navigation I have for regular gameplay. In the Extras screen is a CG gallery that I want to flip between charcters as you click their names. To make this work I've created an Extras screen with its own navigation set up via imagemaps.
This is what it looks like. The gallery section is its own screen, and the left side options are the Extras screen:

The problem I'm facing is that when I call other screens (for the characters individual galleries) on top of the Extras screen and then try to go back to the main menu, the additional screens stick, so I'm left with this weird screen overlapping the main menu.
Like so (that's the main menu behind it):

Is there a way to fix this that isn't too complex code wise?
Here is my code at the moment for the Extras screen:

Code: Select all

## EXTRAS Screens ################################################################

screen extras_screen():
    tag menu
    imagemap: 
        ground "menu/extras_bg.png"
        idle "menu/extras_options_idle.png"
        hover "menu/extras_options_hover.png"
        selected_idle "menu/extras_options_hover.png"
        
        hotspot (100,203,131,65) action Show("nathan_gallery") hover_sound "Sounds/triangle.mp3" activate_sound "Sounds/da_ding.mp3"
        hotspot (99,281,116,58) action Show("music") hover_sound "Sounds/triangle.mp3" activate_sound "Sounds/da_ding.mp3"
        hotspot (99,353,160,79) action Show("character_bios") hover_sound "Sounds/triangle.mp3" activate_sound "Sounds/da_ding.mp3"
        hotspot (99,458,138,73) action Show("creator_notes") hover_sound "Sounds/triangle.mp3" activate_sound "Sounds/da_ding.mp3"
        hotspot (36,650,292,45) action Return() hover_sound "Sounds/triangle.mp3" activate_sound "Sounds/StylishPiano.mp3"

and here is the code for 1 of the 6 gallery screens I intend to have:

Code: Select all

screen nathan_gallery():
    add "menu/nathan_gallery.png"
    
    ##Thumbnails buttons: here we put the small versions of our CGs we've previously saved in the game folder. 
    if persistent.CG1_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG3_%s.png" xpos 216 ypos 180 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg3')
    
    if persistent.CG2_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG3_%s.png" xpos 216 ypos 180 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg3')
    
    if persistent.CG3_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG3_%s.png" xpos 216 ypos 180 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg3')
   
    if persistent.CG4_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG3_%s.png" xpos 216 ypos 180 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg3')
        
    if persistent.CG5_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG4_%s.png" xpos 615 ypos 250 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg4')
        
    if persistent.CG6_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG3_%s.png" xpos 216 ypos 180 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg3')
        
    if persistent.CG7_unlocked:
        imagebutton auto "CG3_%s.png" xpos 216 ypos 180 focus_mask True action ShowMenu('cg3')

I think you should add
Hide ("nathan_gallery")
to the action for the return button

I tried that, all it did was hide the gallery screen and now the Extras screen is stuck and won't go to the MainMenu i
I stupidly used 'and' instead of putting the action in brackets . Your advice worked! Thank you for the help
