Yeah tried that it still does it in exclusive mode, don't know what you mean by add 1?
What seems to happen is the image is not a crisp black line, it is a line but got grey bits and looks bit blurred.
Here is what I do: (small section out of my program)
rem arange initial images onto screen *********************************
_imagesinit:
pic$(1)="pictures\pic1.bmp"
pic$(2)="pictures\pic2.jpg"
pic$(3)="pictures\pic3.jpg"
pic$(4)="pictures\pic4.jpg"
pic$(5)="pictures\pic5.jpg"
pic$(6)="pictures\pic6.jpg"
pic$(7)="pictures\pic7.jpg"
gosub _picorder
create bitmap 3,640,430
gosub _loadonto3
copy bitmap 3,0,0,639,429,1,areax,areay,areax+areaw,areay+areah
return
_picroutine:
gosub _picorder
gosub _loadonto3
copy bitmap 3,0,0,639,429,0,areax,areay,areax+areaw,areay+areah : sync
return
_loadonto3:
set current bitmap 3
load image pic$(curpic),1
paste image 1,0,0 : delete image 1
set current bitmap 0
return
rem picture order sort out ********************************************
_picorder:
if curpic=0 then curpic=7
if curpic=8 then curpic=1
return
don't know if you can get the idea of what I'm doing from that?
