i wrote a function to make text fade between colours but infortunately i can't get it working and don't know why, i am new to functions so don't know if i am writing it correctly, it keeps coming up with "Severe Exception" at run-time but not when compiled could someone tell me what's wrong? any replies would be much appreciated - here is the code:
`tS2, true studio 2d
`flip-book animation program
intro:
hide mouse
set display mode 1024, 768, 16
set text size 200
set text font "Dauphin"
ink rgb(55, 55, 255),0
center text 512, 200, "tS2"
sleep 3000
set text size 60
ink rgb(155, 155, 255),0
center text 512, 400, "True Studio 2D"
show mouse

FlashText(512,600,"Press Any Key To Continue")
suspend for key
end

function FlashText(x,y,text$)
fcolor = 0
do

ink rgb(fcolor,fcolor,fcolor),0
center text x, y, flashtext$
if fcolor = 255 then dwn = 1
if fcolor = 0 then dwn = 0
if dwn = 0 then inc fcolor
if dwn = 1 then dec fcolor

loop
p.s. as you may have guessed this is for a 2d animation program i am making, so i think it will be a difficult task. I think i shall put up some team requests shortly so if you're interested check out the team requests section soon.

This is the only error that I see, when you have called the text to be displayed "text$" in the function definition. I *think* it trying to call itself over and over... which crashes out any heap or stack built.

Oh wait...

I have another comment. You have a suspend for key after the function call, but no way to exit the loop inside the function! Rather an important point there...
