Problem with bitmap backgrounds

[Elias Montoya]

Paul i am having problems with dialog background bitmaps.
the first time they open correctly, but when i close them and
re-open them, the background looks white.

It keeps loading white afterwards.

Is there a way i could be messing with how Firefly handles
the bitmaps?

Hi Elias,

Can you email me the bitmap that you are having trouble with? Are you using it "Stretched" or "Tiled" ?

In the couple of quick tests that I just tried, I did not find any trouble.

[Elias Montoya]

It uses tiled mode.

Actually if i create a new dialog with a bitmap it works just fine,
even if i use the same bitmap, it only happens with my real application.
thats why i think i may be doing something wrong, or maybe not wrong
but maybe something you didnt expect programmer to do...

Ill try to create a program that makes the same without much code...
and send it to you. just a moment.

[Elias Montoya]

Strange enough... i was able to remove ALL of the code.  :shock:
I only left the code required to call the second dialog.

It still is having same behavior. Im sending it right now.

Thanks Elias, I got your email with the project files. I do see the white background problem that you are experiencing. I am now searching for an answer. I will get an answer as soon as possible.

OK, I found the answer to the problem however it involves recompiling and uploading a new version of the FFengine.exe. However, I can not do that until later tonight.

Hi Elias,

Try the new FFengine to see if the bitmaps work correctly.

Yup. Images are correctly displayed now.
Thank you very much!
