Importing a picture and using it in an Animation?

-----------------------------------

now I am trying to place a picture in an animation and make that picture move

I was thinking of a Santa in a sleigh making a run across the screen sort of thing

but before I can do that I need to import a picture,
.jpg preferably not those other random things turing supports...


This is what I got from the picture importing thread, by Dan I  believe

var varname :int := Pic.FileNew (" c:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Administrator\My Pictures\spartan6.jpg")
%to specify the exact location of this file 
       var mypic :int:= Pic.FileNew ("c:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Administrator\My Pictures\spartan6.jpg") 
       
%to draw the picture in the center of the screen with no mode 
Pic.Draw (mypic, maxx div 2, maxy div 2, 0) 


Any and ALL help is appreciated thanks in advance!

importing and using an image of any supported type works the same way.

Put the image into the folder your code is contained in. That way you don't have to type the whole directory. 


Pic.FileNew ("sparten6.jpg")


I don't know if Turing does this, but many languages use the backslash ('\') as an escape character, meaning it does things to the string :P. To get around that, use a double backslash ('\\'). 

Another thing, if you create the picture when you initialize the variable, you don't need :int. You can just do: 


var mypic := Pic.FileNew ("sparten6.jpg")


Either should work.
