Maybe you should rethink your app design.

Then you should make 10 screens to 1 screen with 10 vertical arrangements

Probably you should make different arrangements as per your requirement. This is better option.

For switching you can use this for less block

#8

Why not just change the content of the component instead

@Boban, Inserting several vertical arregenment is not a good idea?

You can use the procedures.

Use a vertical arrangement for each “screen” and then with a procedure you show or hide the one you want

Is that possible to go back to the previous screen with the old horizontal alignment visibility?

Would this not require the creator to create a “call goToScreen” for each each time a new screen needs to be opened?

What I do is create a “ScreensInvisible” procedure which sets every screen visible to false.

Then when I need to open a new screen I call ScreensInvisible then make the screen I want visible. This will save quite a lot of blocks I think.
