Parallel event not allowing player movement

[An Ning]

As I am still learning, I'm tryign a bunch of new things with each map I make.
This time I tried havign 2 people talkig in the map when I enter.

I ran it as a parallel event because I want to be able to move around while they talk (they are the only characters in the map, so they are not interrupting or blocking anything).

Ran into 2 problems that, from what I have found in tutorials, I should not be having
1) Despite being set as a parallel event, player character cannot move while they speak. This wouldn't be too bad except for :

2) Their dialogue does not end, it loops back to the start again once finished and I can't make them shut up. I've tried taking additional things to the end of the event, but none seems to impact this loop they get stuck in

Can anyone point me toward a non-video-based source for finding out what I did wrong?

1. Show Text always suspends player input and waits for the player to press a key. If you want background messages that automatically hide and show themselves, I can highly recommend Yanfly's Gab Window plugin: http://yanfly.moe/2015/12/18/yep-46-gab-window/
   
   
2. Parallel and autorun events repeat indefinitely while active. Two possible approaches here:
   
   
   • If you want the talk to repeat from the beginning when you leave and re-enter the map, add an Erase Event command to the end of the event.
     
     
   • If you want the talk to run once, a typical approach is to turn on a self-switch at the end of the event, then add a new, blank event page with Condition set to that self-switch being on. =)

Edit: oh, you're the one with no Youtube access? None of this explanation relies on videos, so that's OK. Must be difficult learning without that resource, though.

OK, so the problem wasn't that I did anythign wrong, per se, it's that I didn't have a page for the event to run with no text present to prevent interrupting movement.
Got it, thanks.

No, no, it's no trouble. I just remembered someone saying they couldn't access Youtube but didn't remember who it was. x)

Happy RPG Making! ^_^
