I grabbed this code out of the "Beginner's Guide to DarkBASIC Game Programming", but it is not working in DBPro. It displays the background, but the sprite is not appearing. What's wrong?

`Initialize the program
SET DISPLAY MODE 640, 480, 32
HIDE MOUSE
CLS

`Load background bitmap
LOAD BITMAP "background.bmp", 0

`Load the source bitmap file
LOAD BITMAP "F15.bmp", 1

`Grab image 1 from bitmap
GET IMAGE 1,0,0,300,300

`Draw the sprite
SPRITE 1,170,90,1
paste sprite 1, 0, 0

`Wait for keypress
WAIT KEY

END

Well, after much difficulty, I figured it out. It appears some of the "DBPro" examples in the book don't work, at least in SP4. Here's how I changed the code:

`Initialize the program
SET DISPLAY MODE 640, 480, 32
HIDE MOUSE
CLS

`Load background bitmap
LOAD IMAGE "background.bmp", 1
PASTE IMAGE 1, 0, 0

`Load the source bitmap file
LOAD IMAGE "F15.bmp", 2

`Draw the sprite
SPRITE 1, 170, 90, 2
SET SPRITE 1, 1, 1

`Wait for keypress
WAIT KEY

END
