i know if you preload an image and use that to create sprites with its supposed to only delete that sprite and image and not the original preloaded image correct? as in:

+ Code Snippet

images.MetalBack = LoadImage("Backgrounds/Metalbox.png")
////////
Gunboxs[i].id = createsprite(images.MetalBack)
//////
deletesprite(Gunboxs[i].id)

i have no other instances if that sprite being deleted and zero instances of the image (images.MetalBack) being deleted. It works the first time around but then when i come back to reload it again it says the image cant be found.
i added:

+ Code Snippet

if GetImageExists(images.MetalBack) = 0
	images.MetalBack = loadimage("Backgrounds/Metalbox.png")
endif

and this allows me to pass through again. I have never had this issue before. if anyone can give me a hint of what i might be doing wrong, thank you in advance.

I think android needs to have case sensitive path and filenames
Hope this is the case

When in separate functions I have no problem with this technique - for example I delete menu sprites and then quickly re-load them from the pre-loaded image all the time. Are you calling LoadImage() more than once?

fun imgLoader()
images.MetalBack = LoadImage("Backgrounds/Metalbox.png")

fun drawSprites()
Gunboxs[i].id = createsprite(images.MetalBack)

fun deleteSprites()
deletesprite(Gunboxs[i].id)
