I figured everyone else already knew that. I had just spent a good half hour trying to figure out why my images transparent color wasn't working. The thing that confused me was that I somehow got it working that way by setting _Source, and reading a point off the image instead of using _RGB(). I managed to recreate it. I'm storing the images in an array because that's how I did it last time. Don't know if that matters.
It even shows the BG colors as being different, but they still work in a 32bit screen. Of course, this would be a non issue if I had just setup my Screen first like a normal human being.
I feel like I should apologize for this rabbit hole I'm dragging you all down.
Code: (Select All)
''load iamges
Dim image&(1 to 2)
image&(1) = _LoadImage("blue1.png")
image&(2) = _LoadImage("blue1.bmp")
''get bg colors of images
Dim clr_png~&, clr_bmp~&
_Source image&(1)
clr_png~& = Point(0,0)
_Source image&(1)
clr_bmp~& = Point(0,0)
''clear color
_ClearColor clr_png~&, image&(1)
_ClearColor clr_bmp~&, image&(2)
Screen _NewImage(640, 480, 32)
''
Print "Reference color: ", _RGB(255,0,255)
Print "png BG color : ", clr_png~&
Print "bmp BG color : ", clr_bmp~&
''show the images with clear color set
'_ClearColor _RGB(255, 0, 255), image&(1)
'_ClearColor _RGB(255, 0, 255), image&(2)
_PutImage(10, 100), image&(1)
_PutImage(10, 200), image&(2)
''release images
_FreeImage image&(1)
_FreeImage image&(2)
