So Ive been working to make a Mad Libs program One button says next and the other back. Next stores the inputs as variables and changes the label. Back goes to the previous labels. After its done a messagebox pops up and says the paragraph with the variables. If only Next is pressed its fine. When Back is pressed its fine. But when Back then Next is pressed next just stops working. One solution I thought was doing
root.update()
But that was unsucessful.
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import messagebox
root = Tk()
root.title("Mad Libs: Action Movie")
x = 0
#para is the paragraph %s is variable
Para = '''%s is a normal %s. Then, one day, a %s explodes, causing a %s to blow up, and a nearby %s erupts into a %s of flames.%s realizes that he's being chased by the govement, who's trying to %s him. While on the run, he teams up with an incredibly attractive woman named %s, who has an incredible %s. She may be from the streets, but she can %s like nobody's buisness. The duo decide to tu tables on their pursuers by blowing up a %s, which triggers a chain reaction, causing the local %s, %s, and %s to explode. Then, the bad guys' helicopter gets %s by a piece of %s from when the %s exploded, and the helicopter explodes and falls onto a %s, causing it to %s, which shoots a fireball straight into the heart of %s and destroys the bad guy leader. Everything is %s and the two decide that such a %s ordeal has caused them to fall in %s with each other. They decide to celebrate by %s on the %s,and they even managed to use a %s from the begiing of the movie, to %s the whole story together.'''

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried to fix it before asking but my problem is pretty specific and i couldn't find anything. Thanks for the input.
