I've had that problem before, but DBP works best with a loop.. like this at the beginning of your code.

REPEAT
if MOUSECLICK()=1 or ESCAPEKEY()=1 THEN END
UNTIL FALSE

That should stop the program from ending prematurely.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

Replace file$ with the actual file name, just for debugging purposes. If it still crashes, and you know the file name AND path is correct, you got a problem. If it stops crashing, you know your code to populate file$ is wrong.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

what does your function look like and what does the line look like that uses it in your main loop

example function

Trust me my way will work, I've done it myself.



Take the above code for example, without the repeat...until loop well, it closes straight away.

Where did you hear that? I've not have any problems with functions since patch 2.

Darthpuff, I've seen that problem before, but with an 'open to read' command. I couldn't fix it either. Any chance we could see a little more code?

I have problems with them too, only that in DBP (Not a problem in DB I don't think?) without the loop at the beginning, my functions happen then my program closes, even if I have the 'wait key' command inserted afterwards, it even happens with 'SLEEP #'.

Try using:

Just to see if it works.

what do you mean it's in a function do you mean that the command:
load image file$,1
is in the function.
or the value of file$ ?

Peace is but a shadow of its painful past.

o_O what.... load image file$,1 is in the function... file$ is found in the loop... I tried using "example.bmp" instead of file and it didn't crash... why is this?

you need to check if files nop.dat and noi.dat exists and delete them before you make them.

I can't really tell what the problem is, but I can have a few guesses

Instead of passing the value directly from your structure, can you try something like this instead :



I'm currently experiencing a compiler bug that this solves too.

I gotta keep $ out of it ... those aren't offically supported by that language... and file$ holds the string "example.bmp" because thats all I have tried opening...

It's the idea that I'm trying to get across, not the code

Basically, instead of using the 'structure.element' as an argument, extract the value into a simple variable, and use that as the argument instead.

oh now that sucks... o_O I thought that if I put a $ on the end of file$ it would not be a reserved word anymore... guess not... there was never a problem in the first place... thanks for pointing out the reserved word Toad... O_O I wasted so long trying to fix a bug that wasn't there... ^_^

Are you willing to simply load a bitmap and make an image from it?

Ending a sentence with a French word is so passé

Can you post the code fix? It might be advanced but I like to see how problems get solved.
Thanks in advance.
