hi
i need some help with my programming
the problem is that dbpro loads 1 bitmap but refuses to load any others right after

example1:
cls
load bitmap "white.bmp", 0
load bitmap "coat1.bmp", 1
get image 1,0,0,140,128
sprite 1,100,100,1
show sprite 1
wait key

when i do this it says it can't load bitmap in line 3

example2:
cls
load bitmap "white.bmp", 0
load bitmap "coat1.jpg", 1
get image 1,0,0,140,128
sprite 1,100,100,1
show sprite 1
wait key

when i do this it only processes the 'white.bmp' and nothing more

example3:
cls
load bitmap "white.bmp", 0
load image "coat1.jpg", 1
get image 1,0,0,140,128
sprite 1,100,100,1
show sprite 1
wait key

when i do this i get a white square (where the picture is supposed too be) but with blue background
(and i have both jpg and bmp versions of the same pic)
i can't seem to figure out what the problem is please help

load bitmap "coat1.bmp", 2
get image 2,0,0,140,128
sprite 1,100,100,2
show sprite 1
wait key

position object myFoot,object position x(yourFace),object position y(yourFace),object position z(yourFace)

After loading all the bitmaps, and getting images etc, try
set current bitmap 0
which will set the current view back to the camera

You mean animate your sprite?
I haven't done it but the concept doesn't seem too hard, what you need to do is create your images say image stood still is |

but the one moving is /

so you seperate them on your picture, black for transperant and spacing.

BLACK | BLACK BLACK / BLACK

hope this is making sense so far, then all you do is call in the other frame (the move one) when you want that to be displayed, this is all theory of course as I haven't tried/done it myself before.
