Im making an animation project. This is the first time I'm importing a pic and Turing says "Congratulations! Illegal picture ID number (Probable cause: pic creation not successful)". How do I fix this? Consider the condtions below: - I have the pictures in the same folder as program. - The syntax should be correct - The pictures appear to be JPEG - I was not editing the picture with another program while importing it I have a feeling this is a n00b mistake. I am quite frustrated. Below is the actual part of the importing and the picture I attempted to import:

Dam that is easily overlooked(atleast by me), the filename shown by my Windows XP default setting omits the file type...It adds the file type as a label that says "JPEG". I did not realize Turing only recoginizes short forms of file type acrynoms rather than full file type acrynom. Thats so smart of HoltSoft, this way I dont have type an extra letter for the file type name! Thanks Saad. |

It's not about it being a short form of the file extension or not. A file's extension relay is just part of the files name, so level1.jpeg and level1.jpg could be completely different files. You also could have an image with no extension or a non standard one it would also work as long as you put in it's full name. I recommend turning off "hide extensions for know file types" in xp when doing development work so you can see the real file names. This should be in the folder options some where. |
