I posted on here before about having menu troubles and I got some good replies and everything got fixed. Now I'm trying to make it so when you go to the first option of menu1 it will take you to menu 2. When you go to the first option the background for menu2 shows up but my cursor animation doesn't show up. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong?

Here is my code:

#include "DarkGDK.h"

void DarkGDK ( void )
{
	// turn on sync rate and set maximum rate to 60 fps
	dbSyncOn ( );
	dbSyncRate ( 60 );

// Set the title of the window
	dbSetWindowTitle ( "Simple Fighting Game" );

// Makes the window full screen
	//dbMaximizeWindow ();

// load the image for the title screen
	dbLoadImage ( "title.png", 1 );
	dbSprite(1, 0, 0, 1);

// load the image for the main menu screen
	dbLoadImage ( "mainmenu.png", 3 );
	//dbSprite(3, 0, 0, 3);

dbCreateAnimatedSprite ( 2, "animatedcursor.png", 4, 4, 2 );

// default position of cursor sprite
	int choice = 1;
	int choice2 = 1;
	dbSprite (2, 90, 361, 2);

do
	{			
		if (dbRightKey ())
		{
			// quit option
			dbSprite (2, 393, 360, 2);
			choice = 2;
		}
		else if (dbLeftKey ())
		{
			// start option
			dbSprite (2, 90, 361, 2);
			choice = 1;
		}

// animate cursor and update the screen
		dbPlaySprite ( 2, 1, 16, 100 );
		dbSync();

} while (! dbReturnKey());

// remove images and sprites used for the title screen
	dbDeleteSprite(1);
	dbDeleteSprite(2);
	dbDeleteImage(1);
	dbDeleteImage(2);

// our main loop
	while ( LoopGDK ( ) )
	{
		int n = 0;
		//dbText(0,0,"Press ESC to exit");

switch (choice)
		{
		case 1:
			// play the game

dbSprite(3, 0, 0, 3);
			
			int mainX[4];
			int mainY[4];

// option 1 coordinates
			mainX[0] = 100;
			mainY[0] = 100;
			// option 2 coordinates
			mainX[1] = 100;
			mainY[1] = 115;
			// option 3 coordinates
			mainX[2] = 100;
			mainY[2] = 130;
			// option 4 coordinates
			mainX[3] = 100;
			mainY[3] = 145;

// starts at option 1
			//int n = 0;

do
			{
				dbSprite (2, mainX[n], mainY[n], 2);

dbPlaySprite ( 2, 1, 16, 100 );
				dbSync();

if (dbUpKey ())
				{
					if (n > 0)
					{
						--n;
					}
				}
				if (dbDownKey ())
				{
					if (n < 3)
					{
						++n;
					}
				}
				
			} while (! dbReturnKey());

break;
		case 2:
			// quit the game

// return back to windows
			return;
			
			break;
		}

//update the screen
		dbSync ( );
	}

// return back to windows
	return;
}

Well you are deleting your cursor sprite before it ever checks for your option as far as i can tell.

+ Code Snippet


dbCreateAnimatedSprite ( 2, "animatedcursor.png", 4, 4, 2 );


	// remove images and sprites used for the title screen
	dbDeleteSprite(2);

I notice that you delete it in this line:

// remove images and sprites used for the title screen
dbDeleteSprite(1);
dbDeleteSprite(2);

dbDeleteImage(1);
dbDeleteImage(2);
