2 buttons

in my game, there's a main menu. on the main menu, there's 2 buttons, a start button and a quit button. both of which are animated so when you click on them, they change size a little bit. the problem is that I have a "if imagesoverlap"... and it seems that only the first in the program seems to work. If the if imagesoverlap for the quit button is right above the if imagesoverlap for the start button, only the quit will work. If the if imagesoverlap for the start button is right above the if imagesoverlap for the quit button, only the start will work. what can I do to fix it?

oh, and the other image is the cursor, just incase you need to know

It could be the IF..THEN is wrong, or maybe the y-coordinate is misspelled somehow. It could also be a logical problem, like first setting the flag in the first IF, then resetting it in the second one.
You could also try drawing some debug output to the screen, like:
if imagesoverlap(mouse, image1) then text 0, 0, "button1"
if imagesoverlap(mouse, image2) then text 0, 20, "button2"

no, I did it all right, tried a debug and it still doesn't work,
I'm ok with any changes in the program, so if anybody knows how to do some sort of main menu, with a quit and start button, that would be great if you could tell me
-Thanks

Here, try this then:

	;setup graphics
	Graphics 800, 600, 0, 2
	SetBuffer BackBuffer()
	
	Dim button(2)
	Global mouseimage
	
	;create 2 images for the buttons
	button(1) = bCreateImage(160, 80, 255, 64, 64, "Button1")
	button(2) = bCreateImage(160, 80, 64, 255, 64, "Button2")
	
	;create mouse image
	mouseimage = bCreateImage(8, 8, 255, 255, 255)
	
	
	;main loop
	Repeat
	
		Cls
		
		;draw buttons
		For i = 1 To 2
		
			DrawBlock button(i), 320, 100 + i * 100
			
		Next
		
		;draw mouse	
		DrawBlock mouseimage, MouseX(), MouseY()
		
		;test what button has the mouse on it	
		sel = 0
		For i = 1 To 2
			If ImagesOverlap(mouseimage, MouseX(), MouseY(), button(i), 320, 100 + i * 100) Then sel = i
		Next
		
		;exit if a button has been selected
		If MouseHit(1) And sel > 0 Then Exit
		
		Flip
	
	;esc = exit	
	Until KeyHit(1)
	
	;show message if a button was selected	
	If sel > 0 Then
		Cls
		Text 400, 300, "You selected Button" + sel, 1, 1
		Flip
		Delay 200
		FlushKeys()
		FlushMouse()
		Repeat
			Delay 50
			If GetKey() <> 0 Then Exit
		Until MouseHit(1)
	End If
	
	End

;												bCreateImage()

;creates an empty image with a certain color
Function bCreateImage(w, h, r, g, b, s$ = "")

	oldr = ColorRed()
	oldg = ColorGreen()
	oldb = ColorBlue()
	oldbuffer = GraphicsBuffer()
	
	im = CreateImage(w, h)
	SetBuffer ImageBuffer(im)
	Color r, g, b
	Rect 0, 0, w, h
	
	Color 0, 0, 0
	Text w/2, h/2, s$, 1, 1
	
	Color oldr, oldg, oldb
	SetBuffer oldbuffer
	
	Return im
	
End Function

thank you very much, bram32!
