try again using a correct screen name

yail files are not necessary anymore

see the following tips and in your case especially #4

  1. switch screens correctly 
    The recommended method of switching screens in App Inventor

  2. follow these recommendations Using Images with App Inventor

  3. avoid redundancy
    probably it helps to read chapter 19 - 21 in Dave's book http://www.appinventor.org/book2 to get an idea how to do DRY programming with App Inventor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself

  4. reuse your components, see also Building apps with many screens and https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mitappinventortest/YBAfURWv-tY/Ivqx6XcmDgAJ
