Hi leo! Thanks for sharing your code. I can see you're working with tkinter frames, but I need a bit more information to help you effectively.

Please clarify:

• What specific problem are you experiencing? (e.g., frames not displaying, error message, unexpected behavior)
• What error message do you see, if any?
• What's the expected behavior vs. what's actually happening?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

Once you provide these details, someone can give you a precise answer! 😊

• Lots of unused variables and coding errors which I cannot determine why. My current error is Nameerror because fra3load is not defined.
• The main aim is to change all texts of block1 to a whole new texts and whatnot to create a 'transition', like in games. Kind of like frame 1 to frame 2.
• I don’t know how to troubleshoot

You probably want each screen to be a separate frame
and then hide the old frame and then show the new frame

purple_block2 is created twice it seems and then packed immediately?

@rustic sun can you please point out issues with this code?

Hey! Frame switching in tkinter can be tricky. The best way to handle this is to use a controller class so you don't run into those pesky NameErrors.

Basically, you create a main Tk class that holds a dictionary of your frames. Instead of destroying frames, you just use frame.tkraise() to bring the one you want to the front. This keeps everything scoped correctly and avoids global variable issues.
