problem in elseif statement

In the following if else statement only the first condition is working.

While not keyhit(1) 
If mousex()>320 and mousex()<480  and mousey()>185 and mousey()<230 and mousehit(1) then 
Load_func1()  
ElseIf mousex()>320 and mousex()<480 and mousey()>235 and mousey()<280 and mousehit(1) then 
Load_func2()  
Else 
Endif

Why the second condition is not working ?

That is because MouseHit() is being cleared on the If part so it will always be false on the ElseIf pat.

Instead, do this

	If MouseHit(1) Then
		If MouseX()>320 And MouseX()<480  And MouseY()>185 And MouseY()<230 Then 
			Load_func1()  
		ElseIf MouseX()>320 And MouseX()<480 And MouseY()>235 And MouseY()<280 Then 
			Load_func2()  
		EndIf
	EndIf

Oh yes, I have made a logical mistake. Now, the program is working fine.

Thank you.

Or even better....

store mousehit and mousedown in a variable at the top of the loop and check the variable rather than the function...
