Try something like:



Your first problem was, you loaded a bitmap, not an image and the SPRITE command uses images. Also, as you are using the SYNC ON command, you need to do a manual sync to update the screen, which you didnt do, so effectively your program crashes. Thats why I added a quick DO loop, so sync is called every cycle.

Cheers,
Kentaree

Whatever I did I didn't do it!
