Attaching source doesn't work when you posts have to be approved.

Post you code between [code[/b]] [/code[b]] tags.

I guess you just need to delay the program while the bitmap is displayed.
Try the WAIT KEY command after displaying the bitmap, it will halt execution of the program until the user presses a key.

Your probably still in the loop. Load that as an image and right before the last sync, use the paste image command. That way your program can still process other information. Try to avoid wait and sleep when ever possible.

Just my opinion though.

yes it is in the loop and i dont want the game to continue really the code was something like:


ok so whne u get to that position the image appears for that split second then it dissapears and aits for a key press then it ends. i want the bmp to stay up there until it quits. and yes this code is inside the loop

Are you using sprites or 3d elsewhere in the program? Could be the backdrop is being drawn over the top of the image.
You could display the image as a sprite or on a 3d plane.

Or you could try just keep pasting the image until the user presses a key.
