Windows Keyboard_string and menu

[egor chernyshev]

Gamemaker 1 question : I have a menu in the game and my controls are ord("W") to go up and ord("S") to go down .
But in the next room I have field for player to enter their name , this field is entered through keyboard_string but when I navigate through menu , letters wwww and sss are in the field and it is very annoying to delete them every time , I want keyboard_string to only be registred in the room.
Thank you in advance

global.txt="";
global.txt = keyboard_string;

var move = 0;
move -= max(keyboard_check_pressed(vk_up),0 );
move+= max(keyboard_check_pressed(vk_down),0 );

Just do the following in any suitable event (create, room start, whatever) upon entering the next room or when displaying the menu. The keyboard_string is writable as well, so you can clear it whenever is convenient.

keyboard_string = "";
