quick and easy question

[sports_line]

i'm having difficulty loading pictures into my programs. I've been trying to use:

Pic.Draw (picID, x, y, picCopy)

The error:

Illegal picture ID number '0' (Probable Cause: picture not successfully created.)

I'm wondering if there is a way to correct this. Thanks

(new to programming by the way, and just learning commands from help files)

This belongs in Turing Help: you are asking for help, not submitting a program.

Anyways, as to your question:
your variable picID has no picture. hence the "Probable Cause: picture not successfully created." You're probably using Pic.FileNew. If you don't have a full path (ex. "C:/My Documents/My Pictures/pic.bmp"), then the picture has to be in the same folder as your turing file. Or, you could just use the full path. -OR- you could even use .. to go up one level (ex. "../pic.bmp") For this, say your turing file is in a folder called code, and that folder is in a folder called program that also contains a bunch of pictures. You could use .. to navigate to your program folder and then get the picture.

If you trying to run an example program it should have the pictures path specified.

Make sure your pictures are in the same folder as the Turing Source File.

Also make sure the format is supported by turing

Turing 4.1 for Windows can load BMP, GIF and JPG files.

But gifs are a bit more complicated. And if you are on an older version it will say

"GIF graphics files are not supported at this time."

Also what's with all these spammers I say block the entire ISP
