[re_animate]

hey guys,
im learning PSP LUA and need some help, i want to make a start up menu for my psp game...

i have 3 images

start.png, help.png, exit.png

they are all the same just each one has the menu item it is selecting highlighted eg start.png would have the word 'start' in a different color so u know its selected etc...

how do i get the menu to scroll the picture i want by me pressing the D-Pad buttons?

and x being to select them?

Well here is a basic menu it just prints the text to the screen and allows a scrolling ability through the menu in a different colour

Black = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
Red = Color.new(255, 0, 0)

-----Loads images--------
Background = Image.load("images/menu.png")


-----loads files-----
LoadA = loadfile(".lua")
LoadB = loadfile(".lua")
LoadC = loadfile(".lua")



while true do

current = 1
oldpad = Controls.read()

while true do

pad = Controls.read()
screen:clear()

----prints to the screen-------
screen:blit(0, 0, Background)
screen:print(200, 130, "Start Game", Black)
screen:print(200, 140, "Help", Black)
screen:print(200, 150, "Exit", Black)

-----this code is so that when you highlight an option in a menu it turns red-----
if current == 1 then
screen:print(200, 130, "Start Game", Red)
end

if current == 2 then
screen:print(200, 140, "Help", Red)
end

if current == 3 then
screen:print(200, 150, "Exit", Red)
end


-----this makes it so that you can scroll through your menu----
if pad:up() and oldpad:up() ~= pad:up() then
current = current-1
end

if pad:down() and oldpad:down() ~= pad:down() then
current = current+1
end

if current == 4 then
current = 1
end

if current == 0 then
current = 3
end

-----this is to select your menu options------
if pad:cross() and current == 1 then
LoadA()
end

if pad:cross() and current == 2 then
LoadB()
end

if pad:cross() and current == 3 then
LoadC()
end

screen.waitVblankStart()
screen:flip()
oldpad = pad

end

end

heres one this works great

white = Color.new(255,255,255)
red = Color.new(255,0,0)
black = Color.new(0,0,0)
oldpad = Controls.read()
font = Font.load("font.ttf")

-- Font Stuff

font:setPixelSizes(0,15)



ms = 1
mms = 5



while true do
screen:clear()
pad = Controls.read()

if pad:up() and not oldpad:up() then
ms = ms - 1
end

if pad:down() and not oldpad:down() then
ms = ms + 1
end

if ms > mms then
ms = 1
elseif ms <= 0 then
ms = mms
end

mc = { white,white,white,white,white }
mc[ms] = red
screen:fontPrint(font,200,200,"New Game",mc[1])
screen:fontPrint(font,200,210,"Continue",mc[2])
screen:fontPrint(font,200,220,"Options",mc[3])
screen:fontPrint(font,200,230,"Credits",mc[4])
screen:fontPrint(font,200,240,"Quit",mc[5])

if pad:cross() and not oldpad:cross() and ms == 1 then
--First option code goes here.
end

if pad:cross() and not oldpad:cross() and ms == 2 then
--Second option code goes here.
end

if pad:cross() and not oldpad:cross() and ms == 3 then
--Third option code goes here.
end

if pad:cross() and not oldpad:cross() and ms == 4 then
--Fourth option code goes here.
end

if pad:cross() and not oldpad:cross() and ms == 5 then
--Fifth option code goes here.
end

screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
oldpad = pad
end
