Pressing Keys Whilst the Menu is Loading
Hi folks, I'm having a small problem wherein if someone presses a key before the game is finished loading (while the scroll bar is advancing) then the game opens up early into the room with strange results. Sprites are flying in the air like a Salvadore Dali painting. After the room loads you can press any key, and then resume, and things are back to normal. I noticed this wasn't a problem loading the main part of chapter one. Hitting keys had no effect here. (It happened loading the intro movie to chapter one though.) Also, I couldn't duplicate the error on Nige's or Squinky's games. So it must be something I've done to customize the menu sprite but all I did was change colors and add text and graphics. Any ideas?

i'm not sure if it would make a difference, but did you relock the layers in the menu FLA? the menu in 2DA is modified but only the colours and font, i guess the easy way is to try a standard menu and see what happens

Weird...I tried it with the standard menu and the problem persists. Maybe it has something to do with the LASSIE version....

i'm using the beta from the website update with v0.81b4 from the Lassie section

I don't entirely remember how I have the key listeners set to work in Lassie. All I remember is that they are quite primitive. I wasn't extremely familiar with setting up keyboard input when I wrote that, so I don't know the integrity of the implementation.
