Hello,

I'm trying to create a new pointer but did not success. Here is my code (which is the same as in documentation):

Code: Select all

@DISPLAY {title="Match-It!", x=#CENTER, y=#CENTER, width=320, height=240, color = #GREEN}
@BRUSH 2, "pointeur3.png"
CreatePointer(1, #BRUSH, 2, 0, 0)

SetPointer(1)

I've tried with various pictures but at each time, I get a green screen, nothing else , no pointer. What is the problem?

Thanks

Tarzin

Does the PointerDemo example work on your system?

Hello Andreas

Does the PointerDemo example work on your system?

Yes PointerDemo runs on my system but I don't understand why my code (which is really similar to documentation) doesn't work. It's a code problem ou my pointeur3.png file which is wrong?

Thanks

The code looks ok. Send me your pointeur3.png and I'll have a look.

Here it is! I've tried both of them without any result.

Thanks

Ok, it seems there is a bug. Only pointer images with transparency seem to work under OS4. I'll fix this. To work around the bug, simply use an image with transparency/alpha channel. I didn't notice this bug because normally, all pointers use transparency
