I've lost count of the number of times this one has come up.

What's happening is that when you load a bitmap, that bitmap becomes the current one where all operations take place, including the displaying of sprites. The fix is to switch back to bitmap 0 (the display bitmap) after grabbing the image, but before the sprite is created. You do that with 'SET CURRENT BITMAP 0'
