LoadImage issues

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just me missing the obvious, so I'm posting this here before going into the bug report section.

If I use a global variable to load an image it doesn't appear to be accessed in other code, even though it's been included, but using a global for sound works fine. Probably easier to give an example...

Here's my graphics code
---------------------------------
Global FloorBlocks
global boing ; just a test
FloorBlocks=LoadImage("C:\BlowStuffUp\Graphics\numbers.bmp")
;DrawImage FloorBlocks, 10,10 ;un-remming this displays the image
---------------------------------
Here's the line accessing it in the main code:

DrawImage FloorBlocks, 10,10 ; gives error unless remmed out
print boing; just a test, this shows up
--------------------------------------------------
When trying to access the global outside of the include, I get an error of "The Image Does not exist" The inbclude is working as the global variable "boing" prints with the correct value.

Am I missing something really simple?

the filename path may be wrong

Try looking at the Filetype command to check if images exist before loading them

Is your include before the graphics command in the main program?

Are you loading the image *after* the Graphics() (or Graphics3D() for 3d mode) command?


EDIT: Oops, didn't see TonyG's reply :)

Yes, the include for the graphics is actually the 2nd down (the first is a bunch of types).

The path is correct. If I run the graphics.bb code by itself the image actually appears, it's only when I try to access the image from the maingame.bb code it throws a fit.

Looks like I may have fixed it anyway. I was calling the includes, then setting the screenup. I moved the screen setup into the graphics.bb and now everything is working.

Although bizarre, it kinda makes sense. :)

Edit: :p post the same time as GitTech, yes that was exactly the problem. Thanks for the help and advice chaps! :)

Edit2: Darn typos...
