The looping now works with the code below but have two problems.
1) When screens change from one splash screen to another the game "level 1"
shows through between screens! I assume I need a black screen to cover it
but not sure how!
2) As said above the screens now loop alright and the space bar breaks the
loop but it go's to level 1 which is now locked up! But the game ran before
modified splash.wdl. My guess is the finish: might be in the wrong place but
have relocated it half a dozen times. Below is the updated code and I thank
anyone for the help. If my scripts work when all ideas are incorperated is
to be released for public uploads and will give credits. This is stage one
of a larger ideal that I think can be used by everyone.
