Hi all!

I have a button on my “Flash media screen” that should navigate the user to the **Media** page. Every time I click it while testing, it does not go to Media, but goes to the **About** screen instead.

If I set it to _any other screen_ instead of **media** , it will navigate there fine. 🙃

It just seems to avoid media at all costs right now. 😅 😒

Help! What is happening?

Check in your `Blocks screen`. Maybe you have more than one block for the `btn_play Click` which makes one to act before the other.

Hey Muneer,

Thanks for your reply!

These are the blocks on flash page… Even if I delete this whole screen and just simplify and put a blank page with just “When flashpage opens (or starts), navigate to **Media** ” it still goes to “ **About** ”.

This is completely mystifying me! 😬

Hi Muneer,

This is the project : [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/3dc01c4ea118a074f24e2c0b78694fd7)

1 . Flash page 2 is an example of it not working

2 . Flash page is the original and it works. No idea what the difference is, but I can see the non-working version has a light green “Media” drop down… instead of orange.

^ What is the difference between these 2? Green Media does not work.

There is definitely something strange going on. I deleted all of the blocks from the Media screen and when I Live Test from Flash page 2, it goes directly to the About screen. Baffling.

Modified project: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/f6c66ce63b21f1d0653ad2953ec1871f)

**Edit:** And if I remove the Media screen from the Navigator, it still goes right to the About screen.

This happens from time to time.

The `Navigate` block is getting wrong index due to some internal error.

Copy the `Navigate` block from **Flash Page** and paste it to **Flash Page 2** then delete the `Navigate` block that was originally in **Flash Page 2** and replace it with what you copied from the other page and it will work.

You will see that the two `Navigate` blocks are slightly different. One has the screen name in a light green frame and the other one doesn’t.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I never seem to be able to copy / paste blocks. I see how to duplicate, but not to then add this to another screen.

Is there a way to do this?

Also, this is a duplicated, public project - it is not the one I’m concerned about, my private app. The real one does not have the working block within the project anymore… can I somehow copy the working one from one project to another? 😬

And also… the navigation works if it is any other screen… just. not. media. 😒

I fixed by adding the screen name as text this way  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/d/dd419bf10c8c6b07826eca89902b077d7b84251d.png)

To copy a block or group of blocks from one screen to the other just use the normal copy/past key combination.

- Select the block you wish to copy by clicking on it with the mouse.
- Use Ctrl-C for Windows or Command-C for Mac to copy.
- Navigate to the other screen and click on any empty space in the blocks page.
- Use Ctrl-V for Windows or Command-V for Mac to paste.

You might need to find it in the screen as it will copy in an arbitrary place.

Just adding that there is not a way to copy blocks from one project to another project.

Yes, I missed that in my explanation.

In my opinion, this error in this project was due to deleting a screen, I believe the name of the deleted screen was **Main Menu**.

It seems to me the screen entries in the project was not completely removed and this caused the `Navigate` block to have incorrect reference to the **Media** screen.

Maybe @looovelee can confirm if this is true or not.

Thank you SO MUCH for this solution! 🤩

I don’t know why the copy / paste never seemed to work for me… now it does. So, I must have been hitting the wrong buttons. How silly! Thank you! It’s too bad that we can’t copy blocks to other projects. Would be a great feature to “save” sets of block functionality and add to an account saved code / block area. A bit like you can save a screen within a project? Does that make sense? Maybe a thunkable wishlist item. 🙂

**Main Menu** is the name of the Bottom Tab Navigation for the 3 screens - About, Media and Share the Love ? I think that’s the only place I’ve used it. 🤔

I would love to correct the main issue if possible!  
But still very very glad it is working now. 💫 👏🏻

Thank you again!

To copy blocks across projects you need to `Save the screen` using this block  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/7/378fa318ad5d2617279a20991b4cd96e55a7383a.png)

Once the screen is saved, you can now click the **+** to add a new screen and you should see something like this  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/a/6a524be1f8ffc3eac511d7ac9f7ee3c0c7375048.png)  
Select `Copy from My Screens` and click next to see a list of your saved screens similar to this

Choose the screen to copy to your project.

Hope this helps.
