Any help to this problem would be GREATLY appreciated!

Just a few problems. Currently When i run the program, it loads up the second sprite on startup, I thought it should run the first sprite, from the backgrounds.png file.

Second, is there anyway to have a transparent background for a sprite?

Third, I would like to reuse KeyPress(2), is there anyway to do this?

If this is ambigous, please say so, and Ill try to explain, but im pretty lously at explaining.

Thanks

well,after looking at your code,i could only see one thing i think is wrong with it.

"IF (KEYSTATE(2)=1) OR (KEYSTATE(79)=1)
selectmode()"

i think u should retype all of these like:

if keystate(2)=1 or keystate(79)=1

no need for the extra parantethese

sorry i couldnt help more,im still a noobie myself,but someone around here might be able to help more.

Is this in DB Pro or DB Classic?

Also, this isn't a problem, but since you're not entering or returning anyhing from your functions, they don't actually have to be functions, you could make them subs instead (no gain, no loss, depends on your preference)

What's KeyPress(x)? It's not one of your functions, or a command I'm familiar with...

...maybe one day I'll finish a project

Also make sure when you make a sprite that you do not delete its image until you are ready to delete the sprite. Reloading the image will retexture the sprite. Assuming you are using DBP ... if you are using DBC then forget what I said
