updating the camera

Hi guys!
ok i met this annoying problem of bridging local and world space camera coordinate system with a yaw-pitch rotational matrix. I am using the standard code provided by DXSDK.
Everything works fine when the camera is looking in the positive z direction.
Now what I am trying to do is to load some variables from a script that also specifies the actual world lookat direction and other variables. How do I make use of the loaded values and modify the existing codebase such that it takes into account the unmodified local coordinate system and the loaded values?
thx!
Edwin
