Hi,

We load AppGameKit Sprite with the following source code:
_______________________________________________________________
LoadImage ( 3, "\media\images\16BitSoftLogo.png" )
SixteenBitSoftLogo = CreateSprite ( 3 )
_______________________________________________________________

Above source code works fine, but the Sprite is immediately displayed on the screen?
How can we preload Sprites and not display them on the screen until needed?
Thanks!

I would also position it outside of the screen. I don't know if it still holds true, but in the DBPro days hidden sprites still had some overhead if they were in the visible screen space.
