Can images be read from a file into an array?

[PhilOfPerth]

I can fix this one!  SuperSteve to the Save!

Code: (Select All)

SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(800,600,32) 'dont forget me!
Dim Image(10) As Long
Image(0) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
Image(1) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
Image(2) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
Image(3) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
Image(4) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
_PutImage (0, 0), Image(2)
Sleep
_FreeImage (Image(2))

Bingo!
Steve wins the choccy frog! I was missing the _NewImage line. And there's my pussycat!
Now, I just have to select it (easy), size it (ok...), and position it (hmm...)
i think I'll be ok now. Thanks all for the help.

You mention: "I get an "Illegal function call" error on line 7 (the _PutImage line)."

1 -- Dim Image(10) As Long
2 -- Image(0) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
3 -- Image(1) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
4 -- Image(2) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
5 -- Image(3) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
6 -- Image(4) = _LoadImage("RecPics/cat.jpg", 32)
7 -- _PutImage (0, 0), Image(2)

Only way that's line 7 is if that's the complete code, in which case, it's missing the call to work in a graphic screen. 

 Yep, as Steve pointed out, I needed the _NewImage bit to make it work. That was the complete code for experimenting on. Thanks.
