I am beyond sorry but I can't figure out character images going back and forth

[Settle for Pocky]

- Do I have to do a

-----------------

hide os
show om

"hi"

hide om
show os

------------------

every single time? Seems like there's an easier way


I really in my whole life have never felt this stupid and please delete this post, but I've searched all over and for some reason can't find it.

So here's an example of what is happening to me (spacing

-----------------------------------------------------------
image os = "okimi_sad.png"
image om = "okimi_mad.png"

label start

show os

"This is me sad."

show om

"This is me mad."

show os

"This is me sad again."

--------------------------------------------------------

So every thing works fine at the start. The correct image pops up with the correct dialogue
and then the "mad" one works. Image changes and dialogue changes.

The last part is that it does not go back to sad image, but dialogue is correct.


Am I just beyond stupid on this? Am I not allowed to use the same image twice without adding some sort of code.

take care,
Pat

This is what I think is happening.

First 'os' is shown

Then 'om' is shown, 'os' is not hidden, but 'om' is shown on top of 'os', so all looks fine

Then 'os' is shown again, 'om' is not hidden and 'os' is shown below 'om' [as the order has been established by the first two steps], so you cannot see 'os'. You can only see 'om'

I think that the program do not recognize 'os' and 'om' as instances of the same character. If you do 'o s' and 'o m' instead I think it might work.
