ok, i have this menu. when you press start, a movie plays and the first level is supposed to load. it does all of that but there are problems and i dont know how to solve.

issue 1. the menu panel is still shown when the level loads.
issue 2. the included scripts to start playing the game are not present. they are included on the levels themselves, but when the first level is loaded, i get "action not found" errors. what am i doing wrong?

Code:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
var video_mode=7;
var video_screen=1;




bmap panel_pcx = <mosrn3.bmp>;
////////////////////////////////

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


panel energy_pan // background panel
{
	bmap = panel_pcx;
	layer = 15;	
	pos_x = 1;
	pos_y = 30;
	flags = d3d, overlay, refresh, visible;
}

entity energy_sprite 
{ 
	type = <mo+10.pcx>; 
	layer = 85; 
	view = camera; 
	x = 450; 
	y = 14; 
	z = 44; 
	flags = visible, flare, bright;
} 

function init_animsprite() 
{ 
	while (1) 
	{ 
		energy_sprite.frame += 0.1 * time_step; 
		if (energy_sprite.frame > 10) 
       {
        energy_sprite.frame =0; // loop
       }
		wait (1); 
	} 
}

My Famous Quotes: "Hip hop is like a virus, infecting everyone and everything around it. Every form of media has some way,shape or form, assimilated hip hop into it." It has also mutated into other strains like, trip hop, house, rap, gangster, and conscious forms. Once you are infected with it, its with you for life."
