Are you using an advanced computer / monitor? "mouse_click" only works on advanced.
If you're only planning on listening to the "mouse_click" event, use os.pullEvent("mouse_click") so that you don't have to manually filter events.

The given snippet of code won't compile because there are 2 "end" statements too many.

hi thanks for answering so fast.

i am using an advanced computer but the amount of "end" statements are fine and if i add more or take away more i get an error.

EDIT : The buttons are formatted the same throughout the whole program and they work fine but this doesn't.

This sort of thing:

cx < choice1:len()

... should be along the lines of this sort of thing:

cx < x1 + choice1:len()

The reason you need your excess "end"s is because you're using "else if" where you could be using "elseif".

sadly this doesnt seem to be the case as i modified the code for a couple of functions, the app store code still didnt work and the other stopped working, and i dont use 'elseif' because i am used to using 'else if'

EDIT: Nvm i was modifying the wrong thing sorry about that, but nevertheless thank you so much for the help
