Updates a loaded menu.  Must be called from the same script which called [[mmLoadMenu]].  When used, it should be called from a script which will run as often as possible, preferably every frame.
Updates a loaded menu.  Must be called from the same script which called [[mmLoadMenu]].   


This function is necessary to update two aspects of menus:
Every time you display a menu, you should call this function regularly, preferably every frame.  This is necessary for several reasons:
*Button scrolling.  A dialog which has more than 10 buttons '''must''' use mmUpdate to allow the player to scroll through the buttons.
*If another script or mod displays a MessageBox, it may overwrite the active dialog being shown my MenuMate.  mmUpdate will detect this and redisplay your active dialog.
*Counterbutton updating.  If any of your counterbuttons use key inversion, their state text will not update when the invert key is pressed unless mmUpdate is used.
*counterbuttons which may be inverted by key press will not have thier display updated properly if mmUpdate is not called
*dialogs with more than 10 buttons can not work without mmUpdate
