found out about global in types.

I was under the impression that I could do this.

type Thi
global gfxwide:float=graphicsheight()
'or
global whatever:float=gfxwide/2
method draw()
drawtext "Hi",gfxwide/2,20
end method
end type

But when I do that,gfxwide ends up 0.So I have to do this instead.

global gfxwide:float
function create
gfxwide=graphicswidth()
end function

I guess you can't assign a value to globals in Types?I am running the demo Blitzmax.This has caused me so many headaches.Live and learn.

The problem is graphicswidth() and graphicsheight() are being called before graphics() - globals inside types are initialised first, before any code is run.

That explains alot.
