I know how to print text at the mouse's coordinates while an animation is running but the text appears behind the annimation when the mouse moves into the area covered by the animation.

How do I get the text to appear in front of the annimation?

I've used this TextToSprite function for a few things, but I've found if you use more than a couple of sprites on screen things slow down a lot. Anyway, you might find something useful in this.



Call it with this.

TextToSprite("Show this", mousex(), mousey(), rgb(255,255,255),2,rgb(0,0,0),2,2,2)

I looked around but couldn't find where I got this. Someone else posted it in the forums.

Try using the command "play animation to image" and then paste your text/sprite.

The "play animation to image" worked perfectly. Thanks.
