In the FOR...NEXT the variable "a" gets to 2 and then crash and error message.

You only have 3 images - 1,2 and 3. Any image number above this will be illegal. All of your clauses in the last loop request image numbers >= 10.

I fixed the crash, but now I notice that my cloning isn't working.

So I have 3 pictures, but I need 10 sprites and every one of them to have pic1, pic2 and pic3, because I need them to show at the same time.
Now when I use SPRITE blahblah, all I get is a white dot when I try to use the CLONEd ones.

How am I using CLONE the wrong way?

I'm not sure why CLONE SPRITE isn't working for you but you don't need to clone sprites since the SPRITE command will do just that and place the sprite where you want it at the same time.



Also there's no need to use SET SPRITE to replace the background and consider black a transparency since those are the default settings for every sprite. And put a ,1 at the end of all GET IMAGE commands so the image isn't blurred.

I've been caught out on this several time too. Perhaps
the "Image number illegal" warning could be easier to debug if the warning was something like "Image [or object] number [actual number here] has not been allocated".

Oh my gosh! He's wearing Full Metal Pyjamas!
