Animated GIF in Turing

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

Hi guys, 

I want to put in a GIF in Turing. But, everytime I run the program, it says "invalid picture ID number'0' ". Can you please help me fix this problem and make it work.

Here is what I have so far:

var picNum, pic : int := 0
loop
if picNum not= 8 then
picNum += 1
else     
picNum := 1   
end if   
pic := Pic.FileNew ("agent" + intstr (picNum) + ".gif")   
Pic.Draw( pic, maxx div 2 - 75, maxy div 2 - 50, picCopy)
end loop

You're calling [tdoc]Pic.FileNew[/tdoc] on the same 8 files over and over again effectively loading each one multiple times. Turing limits the number of pictures you can load to 1000. You're probably hitting that limit (at which point loading the picture fails and gives a picture ID of 0).

You should only load each picture once and then call [tdoc]Pic.Draw[/tdoc] in a loop.
