Images not showing up

[RGB255]

Okay so today we were supposed to hand in our first sumative project electronicaly. The problem was that when the teacher tried to make the programs the images didn't want to show up does anyone know what's wrong?

Are you by any chance loading pictures using code?

[RGB255]

Umm yes I think most of the people in my class are. Why is that a problem?

Did you include the pictures with the source code when you submitted?

[Silent Avenger]

Yes it is a problem. When you use the image.picture = loadpicture(image path) or other similar code you are specifically identifying the location. Therefore, if you hand it in electronically along with the picture the program will still want to search for the picture using the same directory and the teacher will most likely not have the picture in the same location as on your accounts. So, I suggest for you to put the pictures in a folder along with your program when you hand it in and use the following code:

code:

Image1.picture = Loadpicture(App.path & "\Folder Name\Image File Name.bmp)

That should prevent any images from not appearing. Also you should ask for extra marks for telling your teacher the solution.

Yes I did submit the images with the source code.

Are you sure that will work Silent Avenger?

Yes I'm 120% sure that will work. My grade 10 class had the same problem while making a frogger game and the App.path fixed the problem. Just make sure your images are in the same location as your source code and it'll work. I'm sure there are other ways but I've always used the App.path method.
