Screen Rows overlapping home screen

Hi, I'm new to buzztouch and despite understanding computers and software to an extent, I have an inherent nack of breaking and confusing them beyond all recognition. This issue is concerning Xcode: The problem I am having is that the rows I am making for my homescreen are over writing the home screen itself, so that when I load it up on the simulator I don't get a sequence of screens as I should, I just get the latest screen (or row) with a refresh button. I am a basic user as I'm new and I have used up all 3 of my app slots. However, the first app I named was the exact name of my eventual app, and what turned out to be my 3rd app slot had a code name. My 3rd app slot had the same intention as the first, I just thought you had to start over with a new slot if you messed the old one up at first. Therefore, I renamed the 3rd app slot the same as the first app in the core settings and I believe that may have confused the software as now regardless of the source code I download I believe I'm getting the same files in each one, the amount of compiled files is the same each time I open them in xcode anyway. I've changed the code names for all the apps now but I'm still getting the same problem. In conclusion: When I create rows on a simple menu screen plug in, they dont appear as rows on the simulator, it simply shows the most recent screen/row I created as the only functionable screen in the simulator. Any help is very much appreciated and I apologize if I've made a glaring mistake! Thanks, Sean.

Hi Sean, Welcome to buzztouch! It sounds like you don't have your Home screen set the way you think you do. You can make your Home screen anything you want, except an Action like Call Us or Text/SMS or something like that. To set your Home screen, just go into the Control Panel for your all, select Manage Layout, and then choose the layout - Home Screen or Tabbed - that you want. Then link the appropriate screen to the Home screen. It sounds to me like you would want your Menu List screen as your Home Screen? Also...you can download your source as many times as you want, but the only file that really changes is the BT_Config.txt file (or possibly the icon image, if you've uploaded a new one). You get ALL the source you need to display any possible screen you choose in your control panel the first time you download the source. Hope this helps. Let us know if it doesn't! Mark

Hi Mark, That's fantastic help mate, sorted the problem straight away after I spend a good 3 hours searching through settings! I'll be sure to post again if I need more help, so I'd expect to see quite a few posts ;) Thanks again, Sean
