i am making a primitive game where movement is enabled however,the character must be erased and redrawn after it is moved,no problem there,but when i background image is loaded it flashes in accordance with the characters movement. Is there any way to make the background unaffected by the movement of the character?
thank you.

try

View.Set("offscreenonly")

if you need more info, look at turing's help file. This may stop your flickering.
