Functions ?

[Hotshot]

Hello Everyone

I going to give GLBASIC Second chance and give a try

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


GLOBAL BACKGROUND=0

LOADSPRITE "picture.PNG", BACKGROUND

FUNCTION SHOW_BACKGROUND:

         DRAWSPRITE BACKGROUND, 100, 100


ENDFUNCTION

SHOW_BACKGROUND()

SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END


What wrong with the code as it saying

"MYFIRSTPROGRAM.gbas"(31) error : command not inside function or sub

Hi Hotshot,

try placing the function after the function call:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

GLOBAL BACKGROUND=0

SETSCREEN 640,480,1

LOADSPRITE "picture.PNG", BACKGROUND

SHOW_BACKGROUND()

SHOWSCREEN

MOUSEWAIT

END

// This is your function
FUNCTION SHOW_BACKGROUND:
         DRAWSPRITE BACKGROUND, 100, 100
ENDFUNCTION

Cheers,
P.

Hey Hotshot, guess we were reading the same thread on the Blitz forums   I had bought GL years ago when they first came out with iPhone support and never really used it much.  I moved over to Corona for awhile and then I have been using Monkey.  Like you, just thought I would give it another shake.
