bugs and saving (solved) Thanks

Okay, I don't know if this is a script related problem, if it is, then let me know, but I am having a bug problem within my RPG Maker XP. The bug kind of goes like this:
While test playing my game that I am makeing. I am at a point of a cut scene. The cut scene starts with the ice queen on the left side of the map, and one of my player characters, Servo, (not the "player" character) so I would be forced to use a separate event to for him, is on the left side of the map, and the Ice Queen's pet off to the side, using a combination of "set move routes" and "event transfers" I get the Ice Queen to the right side of the map, and Servo to the left side, and at the end of the cut scene, The ice queen's pet is suppose to leave the room. Now this is where the bug is. While play testing my game the cut scene progressed as I had mapped it out, but before I leave that cut scene, something comes up, and so I save the game and turn it off. When I get back to play testing it it, at the cut scene that I was just in, the ice queen is on the left side of the map, Servo is on the right, and the queen's pet is no where to be seen. Is there something wrong with this? if anyone knows, please let me know.

How many "pages" are in your event for this to complete. If you wish the Queen to stay where she moves to you can place a blank event where she will end up being and when it ends add another page (e.g. switches) and have the events image change to the queen.

Did he move to the right? You said he started on the left and moved (direction not given). In any case make sure your using "pages" and "switches."

You said above the pet was suppose to leave the room (map) so what is the problam here?

Sounds like you just have your event set up incorrectly. Post a screen shot of the event.
 
If you provide a list of the scripts you are using and images of the event pages for all of the events involved it will give people a lot more information than an explanation. Often it will be a silly mistake that can be easily changed, supply the images and I'll take a further look.
 
Sorry for taking so long with the reply. My question had to do with saving and editing. I think I have figured out that it is connected to "change events lacation." Here is my ice queen example, I decided to get rid of her pet, also, event 22 is Servo, current event is Shiva:

I also included another event that from another scene that uses change event loctation heavily, and when i saved it exited, and then went back into the place, all of the characters (events) were back where they started before they changed position.

And as for the scripting editor, there was only one script that I tried to change, but after realizing that it was not the best of ideas, I decided to try to change it back. This is what it is now, it is all the same editor, but in three images:

Hey, sudden realization:

You said that you saved mid-cutscene.

That was your problem, right there.

See, if you use Set Move Route, Change Event Location, or Erase Event, one thing will always be true:

If you leave that map and enter it again, everything will be reset to the way it was before those commands took affect.

Saving and reloading counts as "Leaving and entering."

If you want the characters to move to a different location and stay moved, you'll need multiple event pages, with switches and the like.
