how do I make a menu?

[effix]

Im trying to make a menu for my pong game.
I have 4 buttons and an actor (o) to select the buttons with..
I should look something like this:

o - Play
- Options
- Exit
- Credits

First how do I make my 4 images (play, options, exit, credits) buttons?
How do I make the actor (o) select my button "play" when i press "enter"?
The only thing I have odne so far is made the actor (o) move up and down.

Creating a menu....

Hmm...

Well, im not sure how to make a menu but I know how to make auto plays.
I'll tell anyway since im bored senceless...

start a new game, and add an actor for a background.

Like this one off my game:

then, add 4 more actors, give them the button graphics.
Add 4 more actors, MAKE SURE THEY ARE ALL FILLED REGIONS!!! And then put these round the button images.

finish off with a couple of text actors naming what buttons are where etc.

it will look like this.

on the filled regions make mouse button down events, scripting a way to access the files.

Thanks for your suggestion, but my problem is that I cant use the mouse beacuse its a game for win mobile..

Do a button integer global variable.
On key down(up)-->Script editor-->

Code: Select all

button--;
if (button<0) button=3;

On button down(down)

Code: Select all

button++;
if (button>3) button=0;

on the "o" actor put this in draw actor

Code: Select all

if (button==0) y=10;
else if (button==1) y=20;
else if (button==2) y=30;
else if (button==3) y=40;


on key down (enter or wathever)

Code: Select all

if (button==0) Load game (new game.....
else if (button==1) Load game...
else if (button==2) Switch to options...
else if (button==3) ExitGame();
