Costumes not switching?

Hello!  I'm working on a project and am having difficulty with the costumes not switching.  The project is at
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Kris_Co/2925777

What I don't understand is why the Blue bottles are the only ones that are behaving like they are supposed to be but all the other sprites share basically the same script.  To add to things, on the website the clear bottles actually switch costume but they don't play the sound, and in the scratch program they don't do anything!  The teacups behave the same way both online and in program: the sound gets played but the costume doesn't switch.  It's been driving me mad and would appreciate any thoughts. 

Thanks!

Re: Costumes not switching?

I see what's wrong.

switch to costume (join [Plate] (pick random (2) to (5)))
your costumes are called

plate2, plate3, plate4, plate5

instead of

Plate2, Plate3, Plate4, Plate5.

I guess case-sensitivity is the problem here.

Re: Costumes not switching?

Maybe you should just have 

switch to costume (pick random (1) to (however many costumes there are))
(yes, switch to costume works with numbers of costumes not just names)

Re: Costumes not switching?

Thank you both!  I can't believe I overlooked something simple like that.  I still find it interesting though, that while they do change costumes in the Flash player on the website, they still don't on my computer.

Thanks again!

If that happens and all the scripts seem to be looking fine, save your project. Close your Scratch and reopen on the project. If the problem still isn't resolved then it is something in your scripts.
