For some reason, when I do this:

+ Code Snippet

load bitmap "mybitmap.bmp",1
copy bitmap 1,0
delete bitmap 1

input "Type your input here: ",string$

The "type your input here" shows up fine over the bitmap, but whenever I type anything, it just makes a black box where the text should be. Is this normal? Is there some way that I could have the bitmap still be there, but the text shows up?

A screen is attached.

A signature has modded your eraser because of it's many resolutions.
Wait, that's not right...

Hi kyp,

Just before the input line, set your text foreground and background colors, like this:

ink rgb(255,0,0),rgb(255,255,255)

[This example gives red text over a white background.]

Also, couldn't you just load the bitmap directly to screen 0?

It shouldn't make a difference, but you should do a Set Current Bitmap 0 before you delete bitmap 1.

Loading an image into Bitmap 1 automatically sets the current bitmap to 1, so you should really point it back to 0 before doing anything else.

But at the end of the day, LBFN is right - you should load it straight into bitmap 0 and you wouldn't have to copy it:

load bitmap "mybitmap.bmp",0
