I have an image that I want to display but I cannot get it to display.

I open up Darkbasic pro then I type in.

Load Image "reel_normal.png", 1

wait key

But I get an error it says, Runtime Error 506- Could not load image at line 1.

How do I display this image?

How would I make the image spin after loading the image?

The image is a slot machine vertical reel strip.

I want to make a nice slot machine game for my first project. Can anyone help?

I loaded the image on this post

Thanks in advance.

Is the PNG you are using interlaced at all? DBpro only supports PNGs without interlacing.

DBP supports interlaced PNGs, I just tested it.

This use to hapens when we load an Dba instead of an Dbpro. You have to save your Dba, and then when triyng to open the files, answer yes to create a Dbpro file, in order to give the hole path to you Dba to the correc folder. Try again and good luck


cheers.

Loads up just fine for me (see attached image). Although I had to find that file off the internet since it's deleted in your message.

Maybe it'll work if you resave the image from here: http://www.swish-designs.co.uk/images/reeltut/reel_normal.png

Edit: To make it spin you just move the image up but you paste the slot machine over the reel image so the entire image isn't seen. It'll give the illusion of spinning since the user doesn't see the entire reel image.

Thanks for the tip I was able to display the image. I am gonna sound like a complete n00b but how would you move the image up to make it seem like it is spinning? How what command do I use to paste an image on top of another image?

The order you paste determines whats on top. You just paste the slot reel image first then paste the other image on top of it. Moving the image up is just moving the y coordinate you paste the image.
