So I followed the Red eyes tutorials on main menu animated background.

here is my code. The tutorial is old so I figures some functions have changed since then:

:hudselectionmade=2:loadgame

For instance "timer" was changed to "etimer" I believe.

Unless you want a very fast animated background, i would recommend changing the times.
etimergreater=100 is only 1/10th of a second..
Use this for measuring: One second < = > 1000 ms < = > etimergreater=1000.

Please look at the state=0 code, i presumed there is a / after Red Eyebuttons.. don't really know for sure.. i don't have these scripts myself.
Same for the music line, is there a / after Red Eye? check it out.

Another recommendation, try to close your filenames together, no spaces if possible.
Better (engine-wise) you have /RedEyebuttons/ or /Red_Eyebuttons/ than /Red Eyebuttons/
