So, I’m trying to change the layers of my overlays, but they just stay the same. For example, it’ll first start at layer 24 and when I code it to move to layer 20 or so on, it just stays at 24. Does anyone know what causes this and what the fix may be?

i always use @overlay name moves to layer X
i’m not sure if it makes a difference if you add “move” but you could try it

Hey I think you forgot to add “moves to layer” in the lines that have overlays as specified by @caitlindrewthis above so it should be:
@overlay TALKSHOW TV moves to layer 21
@overlay BREAKINGNEW2 moves to layer 20
@overlay DIWD moves to layer 21
@overlay TS SCREEN BLANK moves to layer 19
I hope that works.

Hey 
I don’t need to add anything but yeah like they said above “you missed the keyword 'moves”.

I had that problem awhile back when I previewed my story in the app. I looked over my script multiple times and couldn’t see any errors but it turned out that changing the layers in the app itself solved my problem. It might work for you?
You also don’t need to add “moves” for overlay commands, both “moves” and without “moves” work. Just in case you were doubting your coding. 
Yes! That worked for me. Thank you!
