ok, i solved the first issue with the menu and panels, it was easy actually. after the level load, i added this.

pn_menue.visible=off;
energy_pan.visible=off;
mouse_map=off;
energy_sprite.visible=off;

now everything menu related is gone. but the first level still hangs, and nothing has scripts, any thoughts?

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."
