Brush does not exist

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Brush does not exist

Can someone please tell me why my brush does not exist?

playCam = CreateCamera()
backdrop = CreateSphere()
ScaleEntity backdrop,10,10,10
FlipMesh backdrop
backdropBrush = LoadBrush("universe.jpg",1)
BrushFX backdropBrush,1
PaintMesh backdrop,backdropBrush

When I go step by step in the debugger the value for "backdropBrush" remains zero after the LoadBrush line completes. What gives?
Thanks.

Check that universe.jpg is in the same directory as your progs source file - or use the path to the file in the LoadBrush command.

HA! Lol@me, I actually just realized that was the problem! It's the first time I've picked up Blitz in months. Oh well, my bad for putting it down in the first place :)
Thanks.
