I have a bonus section in my game and it has buttons to the Gallery and Credits. Then the "Return" buttons on these pages link back to the bonus page.

It works the first time, and then throws an error next time and immediately closes the game.

the code for the Return buttons is:
textbutton "Return" action Start("bonus")

The code under my bonus label:
label bonus:
scene bg outsideMorning
menu:
"Gallery":
call screen cg_gallery
"Credits":
call screen credits
"Return":
call screen main_menu
return

Here's the full traceback:

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Thanks in advance! Hopefully I can fix this before the deadline tomorrow D:

The problem is you're not supposed to do "call screen main_menu". It doesn't actually return to the main menu context, just displays the screen. Try changing your code to read:
And you'll return to the main menu after the choice has finished.

It's still giving me the same error. (Oh, and it's the return buttons on the Credits and Gallery pages giving me errors, the ones that link to the label bonus, not the return option in Bonus).

Also, now that I changed that, the return button on the bonus menu doesn't take me to the main menu, but instead to the beginning of the game. Strangely, it was working fine when I had it as "call main_menu"

How are you calling bonus. I think it should be Start("bonus") and not Jump("bonus").

It is Start(bonus). Also, it works fine the first time I do it, but only the first.

Start() should be used when calling the bonus label from the main menu. From the gallery/credit screens, it should just be Return().

Can you post all of the relevant code? The main menu, bonus menu, gallery and so on? It's really hard to support when we have to guess what's going on.

I actually got around the problem by making bonus a screen instead of a label, and changing the code to match that. Now it works fine. Thanks for your help though!
