I have a page with controls on it, when a user clicks on the option to change the control, I would like it to switch to a small box with a cursor so that they can type in the new setting. I try to use OpenScreen(800,600,16,"change controls") but it dies on FlipBuffers() right after you click on the item.
Also, I tried putting a sprite in place of the screen change, but that goes away when you release the mouse button...
And finally, if you click and hold, then move the mouse it dumps you from the program all together.
My code IS listed below, but I've also included it in the zip located at:
http://www.kennethcraft.com/designs/pb/hunter.zip
Its rather long, and I may be doing something wrong, but here's the code I'm using:
Code: Select all

;Attempt To open the screen at 800x600x16 And init the mouse

InitMouse()
If OpenScreen(800,600, 16, "Options Screen") = 0
MessageRequester("Error", "Impossible to open a 800*600 16 bit screen",0)
End
EndIf
; Goto Subs and run extra commands

one more question: how can I determine if an array already exists in ram? Walking through the code it looks like if I go into the page 2 times I'm going to error out when it hits NewList KeyMap.s() on the second run?
thanks
