I don't understand what the View.Update is for do i download it or something i always get an error message when i try to play other peoples programs.

you have turing 3.0

you need at least 4.0.1 to be able to use View.Update

btw, View.Update is for flicker-free animation

just go to preferences, general, and unclick the beginner mode.

i know, sorry ..i meant to type View.Update but i was in a rush so i was typing in a lower case. but im still haveing the same problem

Maybe try:
setscreen("offscreenonly")
View.Update
both at the top of a loop...this may fix ur problem

still says that there is an error. the error says 'Update' is not in the export list of 'View"

hmm...ok, where exactly did you put 'View.Update' in your code? Also, are you sure you typed as exactly View.Update?

misfit · **Posted:** Sat Dec 13, 2003 9:24 pm

I'm putting the View.Update in the loop after i use Pic.Draw. And yes i'm typing it exactly because if I didn't the error would be that the variable hasn't been declared since they would think it was a variable.

DanShadow · **Posted:** Sat Dec 13, 2003 9:28 pm

hmm...your having an error...what version do you have? 3,4,4.04...?
(Also maybe try putting View.Update before adding picture in.)
[PS] If it were a typo, it would probably think it was a procedure not variable, heh.

My version of turing is 4.0.4. and it still has an error with View.Update no matter where i put it in the program.

ok thats really weird. I have Turing 4.0.4 tooo...and I am not having problems like that at all...ever...wait a second!
Is the GUI uploaded on your program? If so, take out the GUI completely, that is what is screwing you up. I have had many problems similar to that with GUI present, so I never use it. But if GUI isnt out...then sorr y, I cant help ya.

I'm new to turing Embarassed

....what is the GUI and how so you get it out
