Hello, I'm pretty knew at this... I was following along with a screen scrolling tutorial and I ended up with an error. "Cannot grab image due to illegal area at line 38."

everything is written exactly as shown in the tutorial (except for notes that I have been taking in comment regions).

This is line 38 and 39.



can anyone spot anything that strikes them as bad coding? I tried taking out the rem and it still gave the same error...

Are you calling Set Display Mode to set your resolution to at least 800x600? If not, check your project settings to make sure your resolution is not defaulting at 640x480. Or put Set Display Mode 800, 600, 32 at the beginning of your program.

Sounds like that is the answer, unless you are not defining x1,y1 etc properly.

IIRC, when using GET IMAGE, you make your end points one less than you really wanted. I.E.

get image 1,0,0,799,599,0 `creates the background image

See if that helps.

could we see all the code? It's hard to help with just two lines as a reference.

@GIDustin That doesn't matter, it works by starting at 0,0 and going to your image dimentions.

You probably just don't have x1,y1,x2,y2 at the right positions.

My computer surpasses all the technologies of the day. What computer do I have?
