Loadanimimage

I created an image in BMP format which when loaded turns up blank
I replaced an old image which works fine...
Then I converted the new one to PNG and it still doesnt draw to the screen.
Under what circumstances would an animimage appear as nothing?

I made a standalone program and it works.......strange

but with the game im making it doesnt work

DUH - my mistake it only drew the image if its name was the same
