Simple. I wish to click on a button to take me to another screen...

...Problem is, the other screens don't show up. If I'm in screen1 and tell button to go to another screen when clicked, button choice only shows screen1. I know it isn't that tricky :)

Thanks!

So, I must insert screen name as text field? I was thinking on selecting the drop down where it shows the screen name (but it only shows screen1 and not the other screens in drop down)..but the text solution worked. thanks.

Yes, always try searching first but I didn't get the results I was looking for. Maybe i typed in the wrong search strings. Thanks.
