Ok, I'm trialling the dbpro trial currently, and I've just tried a really simple bit of code to see what it's like (as I'm a BB user normally)..The problem I seem to be having is that the black background of a logo (rgb 0,0,0) I'm drawing over the top of another image isn't displayed as transparent, which leaves a huge black rectangle around the logo when it's displayed over the top of the other image. I know that black is usually the default transparent colour in most languages, and I've even tried to set it manually using SET IMAGE COLORKEY 0,0,0 befor loading in the image and the black is still not transparent...anyone know why ??

Code follows..
sync on
sync rate 100
set display mode 800,600,16
set window off
hide mouse
set image colorkey 0,0,0:load image "gfx\fdlogo1_2003.png",1,0
load image "gfx\space.jpg",2,0
while not mouseclick()=1
set current bitmap 0
paste image 2,50,20
paste image 1,260+cos(180+sp1)*180,70
ink 255,0
circle 400+cos(360+sp2)*45,300+sin(360+sp2)*45,90
ink 655,0
circle 444-cos(360+sp2)*45,344-sin(360+sp2)*45,45
sp1=sp1+3
sp2=sp2+6
sync
cls
endwhile
exit
