Yep it's another forum by me

So i have created some png images, which are supposed to support transparency, and i have added transparency to them. i am trying to make a tic tac toe game and when i put the image over the background, the transparent areas show up as white.
Here's a snippet:
//define variables for all nine squares
sq1=0
sq2=0
sq3=0
sq4=0
sq5=0
sq6=0
sq7=0
sq8=0
sq9=0
//define variables for all 8 rows of 3 (3 rows, 3 columns, 2 diagonal)
row1=0
row2=0
row3=0
row4=0
row5=0
row6=0
row7=0
row8=0
//set window size
set window size 400,400
//load and create background image
load bitmap "tttbg.bmp",1
create bitmap 2,screen width(),screen height()
copy bitmap 1,0,0,bitmap width(1),bitmap height(1),2,0,0,bitmap width(2),bitmap height(2)
get image 1,0,0,bitmap width(2),bitmap height(2),1
delete bitmap 1
paste image 1,0,0
//load and create 'X' and 'O' symbols
load bitmap "tttx.png",1
create bitmap 3,bitmap width(2)/3,bitmap height(2)/3
copy bitmap 1,0,0,bitmap width(1),bitmap height(1),3,0,0,bitmap width(3),bitmap height(3)
get image 2,0,0,bitmap width(3),bitmap height(3),1
delete bitmap 1
paste image 2,0,0
do
loop
dont mind all the integers defined
