use dbDrawSpritesFirst ( ); before your loop

Hide all your sprites first.
In your loop:
dbPasteSprite(..)
dbText(..)

This will put your sprites on the screen and then any text you place *after* the "paste" will show up on top of your sprites.

+ Code Snippet

void DarkGDK(void)
{
    dbSyncOn();
    dbSyncRate(60);
    dbDisableEscapeKey();
    dbColorBackdrop(0);

    dbLoadImage(<image>.<ext>, 1);

    while(LoopGDK())
    {
        dbCLS();
        dbPasteSprite(1, 0, 0);
        dbText(50, 50, "100%");

        if(dbEscapeKey()) break;
        dbSync();
    }


    return;
}

After your dbLoadImage(..) you need to declare the sprite:
dbSprite(1,0,0,1);
then hide it using dbHideSprite(1);
and this should work with the rest of your code, except you don't need dbCLS();

For a "loading bar" you don't even need a sprite. You could use dbBox(..) and adjust the second X value with the percentage.

There are several ways you can make a loading bar.....

thanks so much it worked now.

but another problem.. what if i wanted another sprite after the text is shown..

so, background > text > image.. and the image has transparency of 50% so the texts and images behind it will be partly shown..

how will i make image after the text?

You do the method in reverse.
//paste whatever sprites you want behind the text
//do the text
//paste whatever sprites you want over the text
//dbSync();

Have you heard the expression "there is more than one way to skin a cat" ?

I have used my method and I know it works. See any of my works on the forum. If they have text over sprites, then I'm using it there.

This might get me in trouble, but I have looked and I don't see anything on the forum posted by you that is anything but inflamatory. No works. No nice things said about others. Nothing but venemous remarks. Is that why you call yourself that? You provide nothing to the forum, but anger.

Priority works for sprites but not for text, that's why Hawkblood's method is needed.

That is totally incorrect. You get no help because you are a jerk that asks a question and when you get an answer, you spew "venom" at them. Did your parents not buy you that pony you wanted when you were 6?

You don't know me or my abilities. I don't assume to know more than you and you should do the same. We don't come to this forum to tell everyone how great we are, we come to get help and to give it. I'm sure your hacking abilities are what you say, but there is no need to threaten me or anyone else.

And as far as hacking, people that hack others are just scared to confront them face to face.

This may be of no consiquence to you, but I will neither help you or talk to you anymore. Have a nice life.

Post your code. I would not dbCLS, but I think I can figure out the problem if I see the code.

In this section of code:

+ Code Snippet

		dbSync();

                dbPasteSprite(101, 200, 200);
                dbPasteSprite(100, 200, 200);
                dbText(200, 200, "Loading");
                dbStretchSprite(101, x, 100);
		if(dbEscapeKey()==1)
		{
			dbDeleteSprite(100);
			dbDeleteSprite(101);
			break;
		}
                x++;
                dbCLS();

you are clearing everything before dbSync().
Take out the dbCLS() and try it.

We can deal with them as they come. Sometimes problems are self-induced and I think using of dbCLS() tricked you into thinking it was fixed, when it in fact only masked the problem.

As I said, we can deal with problems as they arise.
