I am trying to get the mouse to work with allegro.  I get the mouse to
display and move about the screen okay, but I can't seem to detect when a
mouse button is pressed .  I would appreciate it if someone could tell me
what is wrong with the following code:

show_mouse(NULL);
    rectfill(screen,x,y,x1,y1,BLACK);
    show_mouse(screen);
  do
    {
     if(mouse_b & 1)
        {
         textout_centre(screen,font,"Left Button Pressed",10,10,YELLOW);
         //left button pressed
            show_mouse(NULL);
            rectfill(screen,x,y,x1,y1,BLUE);
            show_mouse(screen);
        }
}while(!readkey());
