I am having a couple of problems with the Director. I am trying to load some images into fast ram, then copy them into chip ram for display. I find that this doesn't work: LOADFAST 1,"my.pic" COPY 1,2 DISPLAY 2 Nothing ever shows up on the screen! What am I doing wrong?

What am I doing wrong? Try adding: LOADFAST 1,"my.pic" NEW 2,1 <<<<<<<< COPY 1,2 DISPLAY 2 You can't copy to a buffer that doesn't exist, you can use NEW to create one to copy into, that is the same size as the "fast" buffer you loaded into. I'm a little surprised it didn't give you an error message of "nonexistant buffer" on the COPY command. Keith Doyle decvax!trwrb!cadovax!keithd
