Hi

a bit back i asked how to fade from one screen to another. Thanks to one individual (i forgot who) i got it sorted out but now ihit a dead end.

if any of u have tried fading in full screen mode u might of niticed that the flicker when it changes background.

and what i noticed is that u can't alter the background or any images to that matter when altering the gamma values.

although i did get a fade off and on running it wouldn't change the background untill everything had stoped.

in brief it did this:
=========================
1. loaded background1

2. faded out

3. faded in

4. change background image
==========================

and what i want it to do is:

==========================
1. loaded background1

2. faded out

3. change background image

4. faded in
==========================

in other words swap 3 and 4 around.

any help of this problem would be usefull

thanks in advance

Just an additional note to that - you will need to be running your program in fullscreen-exclusive mode to get the gamma adjustment to show.

i know about the gamma thing in ful screen exclusive mode.

the problem i seem to have is the fact that it fades out and then fades back in without changing the screen.

i given u my code to have a look at. it seems right to me but somethings just not quite right with it.

Actually the sync command isn't required as set gamma automatically calls sync. But in the second for/next loop (the one that fades in) you have:
for i = 0 to 255 step -1

Just delete step -1 and it should run fine.
