Kaiii well, Haii guys, kinda new here :kir:

But yush anyway, I have a problem with this code…(when I say problem I mean the problem is actually myself - I’m useless with Class files)

**Its basically Drawing out some buttons using the API - On click display some text into a textbox. Also a lame tween and some sounds on buttons and on Loadframe.**

I need to know how the hell do I get this code into a class file, or have I gone too far with this aready :cry3:

Jason.
