PS I foolishly posted this in the wrong section at first... hope no one noticed! n/a

When you pressed the "Enemy" button to go to the beastiary, it would select whatever monster's name happened to be where the button was from the previous frame. I didn't think too much about it being a bad thing to fix it, but what if you hid the mouse on exiting the 1st frame, then at the start of the 2nd frame make it visible again? I don't believe the program accepts any commands from a hidden mouse, so there should be no way it could recognize a mouse click on the 2nd frame. Just a guess! -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies.

Too be honest I'm confused what the problem is - I can't be bothered reading it again neither Actually wouldn't the flags be reset on the next frame if you did that? (Btw if I'm wrong its not my fault - I'm tired k ) Edited by the Author. This is a signature. Have this one on me.

Dave S. Registered 26/09/2003 Points 924	12th January, 2006 at 09:38:38 - Yes, it does seem to be a timer thing as (in the end) I got round it by using transitions... fading out from a completed level and fading in again to display the next... sorted! Cheers chaps. n/a
