WaitKey();wait for a user press

Cls


Line 0,200,320,200

DrawImage stick ,200,160
WaitKey()

FreeImage stick

End;end program


thanks

- Not quite sure, "Graphicsmode" must be "16" Bit instead of "15"?

- make shure your bmp does exist

- enable debugmode to track errors.

...your code works here?!?

Thanks it's still not working even after changing number to 16.

the stick variable is = 0 when run in debug mode so it might not be loading the image which is bleedy odd it's in the same directory has the bb code.

anymore ideas

Cheers

fixed it :)

added MaskImage stick, 255, 0, 255
and that seemed to do the trick.

"Maskimage" only sets the transparency color of an image.
In this case (255,0,255) to "pink". - But the code should display the image even without this extra command.

I guess it was more likely a path problem by blitz finding the image...

Anything more I can (try) to help with? :)

odd that by adding that line it worked if I remove it it does not work.

the image is black and white also.

thnks

Maybe it is working all the time.

If your image is black and white, and your background is white, then you will not see the white part against your background and you will not see the black part because the black is masked by default.

Setting MaskImage to 255,0,255 enables you to see the black part because it is not masked anymore, that's my guess...

ah sound thats sounds about right.

Cheers
