Dynamic dialog menus when the menu is too big for one page

/*
Covey Dynamic Dialog Menu System
=================================
Display a menu of any number of buttons dynamically across multiple pages

The system assumes you have two lists of buttons. Some fixed which must be in every page of your menu and the dynamic buttons. 

The reserved buttons must include next and back

The main call point for the menu is in the touch_start event
*/

Re: Dynamic dialog menus when the menu is too big for one page

As far as I know, the only way to solve this problem is a Virtualbox that runs just about any Windows below 10, and you use 3dmm there. If your computer cant handle it, then you got to deal with it.

Re: Dynamic dialog menus when the menu is too big for one page

That's so ridiculous.  That's like the only way someone can buy a gift for a person who only buys digital.  Was there some kind of fraud scheme that was going on?
