Use "Menu" instead of Menu. Then, at run time, you can resolve the name "Menu" to the object under it. 

        ["Back"] = "Menu"                      <-- No problem :)

Hi,

I'm fairly new to LUA and hoped someone could answer a problem for me.

I have a menu system that loads an lua script. But I need a menu to back
reference.

e.g.

SubMenu1 =
{
        ["New Campaign"] = ID_CAMPAIGN,
        ["New Random Map"] = ID_RANDOMMAP,
        ["Back"] = Menu                      <-- Problem
};

Menu =
{
        ["New"] = SubMenu1,
        ["Load Game"] = ID_LOADGAME,
        ["Exit"] = ID_EXIT
};

I tried adding Menu = {}; at the beginning of the file but it did not help.
How to I do this?
