Re: Could you please help me figure out what i'm doing wrong?

Jodie,

It's not a good idea to use HotKeySet in a game. The problem with the 
HotKeySet function is that it doesn't allow the program to determine if the 
user is holding down a key or not. If they do, the function will just be 
called over and over and over again. With the key function I sent to you and 
which also is included in the menu code, you can actually make sure that the 
user does not hold down the key. In some cases you might want to allow them 
to do that, but at least you have a choice.
The menu code is fully dynamic, you can use a variable to pass the file 
name(s) to the menu, so you can pass it different file names depending on 
the situation in the game. If you need examples, talk to me on msn or just 
reply to this message.

Regards
Philip Bennefall
