When i run my program in Darkedit, it works fine, but when i save it as a stand alone exectueable its not the same. for instance it writes two of the same word next to each other(one bigger than the other) when it shouldnt. or the screen flashes when using 2d stuff and the sync command.

whats wrong with it?

Your program is executing a text attribute modification (font or size) before the system finishes creating the text generated by a previous command.

Once you figure out which command is executing too fast, place a Wait 2 just before that Set Text command.

I use the Sync command rather than Wait, but heartbone is right - it's a speed problem and the result is exactly the same.

Not quite the same, honorable moderator sir.

Sync updates the screen.
Usually I don't want that update to happen until I've finished building the screen.

You are right, it's not the same, but the time it takes to do a sync results in solving the text flicker problem.

Having said that, I'm talking about when I was creating a screen of different sized lines of text - so the fact that I used Sync as a delay didn't affect anything else.

Admittedly there will probably be times where you don't want to update the screen - in which case Wait is the way to go.
