Syntax: SPRITE Sprite Number, X, Y, Image Number

You are using images 1 to 7. Where are they coming from?

Do you know what Load Bitmap is doing?

Use Load Image for sprites or use Bitmap 1. You need to read some basic tutorials (link to mine at the bottom of my posts). Many of the questions you are asking are covered in them.

OK, some things covered in any tutorial will be things you already know, but you should still read them for the information you don't know.

The Code Hints section on my web site explains the difference between Bitmaps and Images.

[Edit] OK, I missed your second code snippet! That's where the images come from lol!

Second attempt!

If you are trying to put text on sprites, try loading the images and pasting them onto bitmap 1. Put the text on the images and then re-grab them before creating the sprites.
