hello, I am very new to this. I am a old man so this is not coming
very easy. I can't get a image to come in dark basic pro.
1. hide mouse
2. cls
3. load bitmap "boat", 1
4. get miage 1,0,0,300,300
5. sprite 1,50,50,200,200,1
6. wait key
7. end

the error I am getting is[runtime error- 504 can not grab due to
an illegal area]
If anyone can help that would be nice. Col. R.D. H.

perhaps your video card can only handle a maximum of say 256 x 256 or some number divisible by 2.

try this example






change the areas that make the box size larger than 256 and the get image size and it might be apparant.

the lines im referring to are these ones

box 0,0,256,256

get image 1,0,0,256,256

How big is your image? If it's smaller than the 300x300 area that you are trying to grab, that will give this error.

Alternatively, why not just load the bitmap directly into the image bank?

LOAD IMAGE "boat", 1

Also add the extention to the image filename.

LOAD IMAGE "boat.bmp",1,1
