I think you just want to call "Draw To Front" at the top of your code. That sets all 2d to be rendered over any 3d, no matter what point you call your 2d drawing commands. When you call "Paste image" or "Sprite" (depending on how you want to display the 2d) the images will appear on top of any 3d.

Hope this helps

Phaelax i think this guy is trying to display images with bitmaps as you then have to set the bitmap to be displayed?
do as Robert The Robot wrote and use "Paste image" or "Sprite"
