Is there any reason why a image wont load?

My actual color is Color object 1, RGB(128,2,3) but I would like it to be random.

1/. Is it definitely spelt right?
2/. Is the image in a sub folder called media and not in the same folder as the exe?
3/. Is the image corrupt (tried loading a different image)?

What happens when you try to load the image?

The load image command loads an image into memory for use with the image or sprite commands (see DBPro help files).

It doesn't display anything on the screen.

Also...

1) Are you using the default editor for DBP?
2) If so then make sure that you have saved everything as a project, and not just source code

I have found that no external anything will load using the deafult editor, unless the source code I am trying to execute is part of a project.

As prof said, load image only loads an image in memory ready to be displayed. Add Paste Image 1,10,10 straight after and see if it displays.

You've got the '/' the wrong way round when changing to a different directory. It needs to be like '\', i.e.

load image "media\rainbow_20.png",1 (only without the \ in bold, I just did that to emphasise.)

This should work.

this / and this \ doesn't really matter they both work the same way(I load media using /).
