Hi guys

When I'm adding Sprites to my menu function, unless the whole sprite is on the screen, the sprite will not draw. This is a real concern for me as my Menu screen has the "buttons" flying in from the left of the screen. The problem is the sprites are 512x32 and the text is drawn over the sprite, and unless the whole text or the whole sprite is on the screen, it will not be rendered.

Is there an additional parameter I need to set before I render any 2d text or sprites?

yeah. normally you NEVER use "sprite" command in loop
you do it to create sprite.
then you set up the sprite paramters with "set sprite" command.
to render sprite after you finished all of those steps, just do "paste sprite" in loop

here is a quick example:

load image "myImg.jpg",1
sprite 1,0,0,1
set sprite 1,0,1
hide sprite
sync on
do
//draw sprite 1st, then text;
paste sprite 1,0,0
text 0,0,"Text ON Sprite"

sync
loop
