"Ack it's the dreaded Snag! Bane of all programmers."

Ok, Here's what I'm trying to do, I'm loading all
the images I'm going to need into the memory, (Or where ever
it is they go)
I've done this before with out any
problems, but for some reason I'm getting the following
message:
"Runtime error at line 57, Bit map to small to get image"

Line 57 is: GET IMAGE 2,0,0,16,40 (I think)

Can any one help?
I've used this method before and it worked so I have no
idea whats wrong with my code.



I'm working with Dark Basic (V113)

it sounds to me like the bitmap is smaller then the get image area.... if that makes sense.... i suggest trimming down the get image x2 and y2.... or you could just use the LOAD IMAGE command, happy coding

Thanks

I'd forgotten about 'Load Image',
This should be much easyer now

also bare in mind that programming languages sometimes give you the wrong line.

For example, the above error is line 57, but if the error was in end of line 56 it might say the error is 57.

This is really annoying when it says the error is about 5 lines after your program ends

Sometimes DB returns the line of the closest sync as being the one with the error, when really it could be any number of lines between the last sync and the current sync... grr

Thanks for the warning, I've just started using sync for
some of my projects and with out that knowledge I'd have
been hunting for the errors in my code until the end of
time!
