Hi Agin,,

To stop animated sprites from leaving a trail, one needs a background ..

Using DelphiX with delphi5.... Is there a way to stop the trail without loading a background... If the sprite is not animated, no trail is left...

And secondly ,, how can I simply create and load a background and fill it with any color I like, without using a picture or using the DXImage list...

And, if for instance i do load a background from the DXImage list... How can I stretch a very small pic to fill a 1024 X 768 background...

And lastly,, how can I draw or overlay or add images to an existing background so that they are permanent

Any and all help appreciated.....

oh and btw is there a special format for ones avatar,,, i keep trying to add a gif (within the size and k specs)_ from my url and it does not take

Cheeeeerrrrrrsssss atozix
