ok I keep getting that runtime error whenever I test out the main menu of my game. it said I couldn't load the image at line 52 so I'm thinking "ok this will probably a quick fix" but no it has to keep occuring over and over. Which is why I need help I don't understand why this code is occuring I have it written out like the code in the help files yet it still occurs.

This is line 52 by the way:

LOAD IMAGE "mainmenu",1

which is basically just like the example code in the help files so I would greatly appreciate it if you could show me were I've made a mistake since I'm trying to figure it out but nothings worked yet... thank you so much to anyone who has the time to help me on this. *goes back to trying to fix it*

Hi

Shouldn't mainmenu have .bmp,.jpg after it.
LOAD IMAGE "mainmenu.bmp",1

502 is "image does not exist", so I guess like Maelstrom says you need .bmp or .jpg after it, just cos windows hides the file extensions doesn`t mean they are not there, DB needs that .bmp or whatever to distinguish that file from mainmenu.mov or mainmenu.mp3 or any other like named files you might just happen to have in your project folder, I like to work with the file extensions visible (you can set it so in control panel) cheers.

ps: if you want to know what the runtime errors mean then go to the db folder, go to the compiler/lang/english then open errors.txt in word, voila! a whole list of the errors and associated descriptions.

ok well I figured out the problem but now whenever I go in to test out the main menu it doesn't display it it only goes to a black screen and then the game shuts off any ideas? *goes searching for problem while he waits*
