just use load image "image name.exstension",image number

then just change it into a sprite:

sprite sprite number,sprite-x location,sprite-y location,image number that well be this sprite

simple as that

either you can make a final copy which puts all your media files or external files used by dbc into the exe or you can just create an exe that is just for reading the code and you well have to have people download the files with it
