okay, if i use:
"load bitmap "bitmap.bmp""
the bitmap will show up on the screen
but if i want to change it, i have to give it a #, but as soon as i give it a number it will not show up on the screen. so i cannot fade bitmap or anything and its stupid
i am using dbc
i also want to know, if i figure this out which i hope i will

, how do i put a bitmap where i want it on the screen, rather than just putting the tl in the tl of the screen?
thx for the help im sure you guys or gals will give me,
outz

This is how I'd do it:

+ Code Snippet

Sync On

Load Bitmap "bitmap.bmp", 1

Set Current Bitmap 1
Get Image 1, 0, 0, Bitmap Width(), Bitmap Height()
Sprite 1, 100, 100, 1

Do
	If SpaceKey() Then Exit
	Sync
Loop

Fade = 100
Do
	Fade Bitmap 1, Fade
	Get Image 1, 0, 0, Bitmap Width(), Bitmap Height()
	Sprite 1, 100, 100, 1
	Dec Fade
	If Fade < 0 Then End
	Sync
Loop

Load the bitmap using a number and then use 'Set Current Bitmap' to select it. Copy the bitmap to an Image by using 'Get Image' and then using a Sprite to put it where you like on the screen.

To fade the bitmap, simply do the operation to the bitmap and then once again copy the bitmap to the Image.
