You can just use the 'Paste Image' command and set the transparency flag - all black pixels (RGB 0,0,0) will be transparent.

Basically, you need to CREATE BITMAPs, PASTE IMAGEs (with RGB(0,0,0) for the transparent areas), and make SPRITEs or whatever from the result.

You can even add text dynamically this way, by writing it to the bitmap, it becomes part of the created image.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

Is there a way to make a different color the transparency color? I want to use pure black ON my sprites and bobs and still have parts transparent.

I've come up with a ghetto work-a-round, but i don't like it. I make the parts that i want to be transparent, pure black, then I make the parts I want to be black, one shade lighter (rgb(1,1,1) or something). It works but no me gusta.

Oh, and what is the difference in a sprite and a bob. The help files descriptions are EXACTLY the same.

bob and sprite ARE the same (bob was the old name for it but when they introduced sprite they kept bob because of compatibility reasons)

you can program it yourself, which color is transparent
by using the dot and point command

in fact everything more than rgb(10,10,10) will be shown. Color having walue rgb(11,11,11) looks totaly black at the screen, you will not notice diference.
