Simple menu that allows common events

[goldfrappian]

I am currently wanting to use this script (below) for a visual novel but I am unable to use common events as there is no actor to be able to 'use' the item. - What i mean is that i have a 'document' in the item menu and use a common event to make the linked picture/text appear. But i found i cannot use this with a simple menu. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
