Hello all, I have a little sample background (bmp file) I would like to paste to the screen as a test screen for a little side project now that I have a week off of school. I've been playing around here for about 40 minutes or so and can't seem to get my image to display, now I can get a little square guy animated to my mouse cursor so I didn't really think this would be all that difficult. Ah well, I am rambling again.

Here is the code, nice and simple.



I would appreciate any advice on what I am missing, thank you again. I will include the sample paint background as well.

try turning the backdrop on, and loading the file as an image. Also, you can ditch the cls if you have the backdrop on:

Just to fix your first example, it WAS working, but when you load a bitmap using LOAD BITMAP, that bitmap becomes the current working one. So it WAS pasting the image at the mouse coordinates, but it was pasting it on bitmap 1 instead of bitmap 0 (which is the screen).

The fix is right before the DO-LOOP put the command

SET CURRENT BITMAP 0
