Oh right, flush video memory only works in DBpro, do you have the standard version. If so then im afraid I cant help you that much. You could try deleting everything manually by stating:

If object exist(objno)=1
delete object objno
endif

Are you using a backdrop in your game?
Cheers

oh right, i guess it's only the standard. I'm not using backdrop, it's just the default blue colour

Cheers for the help, it's very appreciated

Flush video memory does indeed work in dbc/enhanced, and it clears all the textures from your graphics card memory. You can make sure to use 'draw do front, and that default blue is probably still a backdrop. So also use backdrop off, as the backdrop constantly refreshes the screen. if you need some 3d objects to remain then you can make a set of plain objects that fills the whole screen with your images textured on those, and lock them to the screen
