hi
i am having problems trying to animate water. i am using a 1024x1024 bmp with 16 different frames. each frame is 256x256 when i set the fet image to 256 i get an error. [can not grab image due to an illegal area] if i set it to use 128 it will load it but my animation is off.. any idea's why i can't use 256

thanks.. code is in the source button

I don't know if you have DBPro but if you do there are some sprite animation commands that load from a filmstrip like you're trying to do.

I think its because if its a 256x256 image the coordinates run from 0,0, to 255,255. Hence trying to include 256 is outside the available area.

See source box for working version.

Yuor biggest problem is loading piccy into bitmap 0 (which is the main screen). Depending on what mode you are running in, it is probably only 640*480 or 800*600. The image is therefore too big for the screen! Trick is to load into another bitmap and get images from that.

Also note that get image is a bit weird and you don't subtract 1 from right or bottom. So if you wanted to grab a 256*256 image you say:
get image 1,0,0,256,256 or get image 256,256,512,512, e.t.c.
