i am writting a small program ( or trying ) that converts singe images into an animation strip but i have come across a problem.

the program works like this ...

loads images ( frames ) 1 - 30
puts frames onto screen via sprite & size sprite command
get image ( whole screen - 0,0,1024,768 )
save image xxx.bmp

however when i load image xxx.bmp in an art package all i am getting is a blank screen ... im hoping its something simple i need to adjust .. any advise ?

have you used create bitmap before save bitmap 'cos I think you need to do that (not sure though). Also, try the set current bitmap command. It would be easier to understand and help if you posted some of your code.

Am I the only one here who's really confused?

GET IMAGE will not capture sprites. You need to use either PASTE IMAGE or PASTE SPRITE to put the image on the screen bitmap so it can be captured by GET IMAGE.

ok now my head hurts ....

can someone explain how to create a bitmap - ive given it a go create bitmap 1,1024,768 & set current bitmap 1 but now all i get is a black screen ( none of the paste sprite commands / paste image / text and so on are appearing ) and to top it off the save image command is still capturing a plain BLUE screen.

i thought this program would be so simple to create
