hi, im trying to put a button on my background image, but nothing is there. heres the code im using and advice would be greatly appreciated!


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

BMAP* firebackground = "awesome-fire-dragon-ablaze.jpg"; // dragon fire background with button on it

PANEL* first_pan = // my first panel
{
pos_x = -40;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = firebackground;
button(-270, -100, "stopclicked.jpg", "stopnormal.jpg", "stopnormal.jpg", quit_program, NULL, NULL);
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}
BMAP* pngRobot = "LDDScreenShot1.png"; // robot in foreground

PANEL* second_panel =
{
pos_x = -270;
pos_y = -100;
layer = 2;
bmap = pngRobot;
flags = OVERLAY | VISIBLE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function main ()
{
video_mode = 7;
screen_color.red = 100;
}

function quit_program()
{
while (key_any) {wait (1);}
sys_exit(NULL);
}

Why you use -270? So the Button is outside from the Panel !!!

yea, don't use negative values for panel elements
the element wont be visible if it's not inside the panel

im not sure what happaned, everything but the button shows up where i want it.

ok, i changed the negative numbers, and it shows up now, but it doesnt doing anything when i click on it.

remove this you dont need it:
while (key_any) {wait (1);}

ok, but the button still doesnt work, i click on it and it does nothing

Add a wait(1) after the sys_exit()

ok, i did, but the button still wont work.

Oh, sorry, I realise you don't have a mouse yet. Create a mouse first so clicks and touches can be registrated by the engine.



No need for the wait after sys_exit.
