about images

[blackmeadow]

hey, guys, i'd like to know what format to save my images.  recently i used a .png of grass to tile the bottom half of a screen that's background is changing colors and i still see black spots around the surface of the tiles after setting it to transparent.  is there a better way to implement transparency or should i use another format?  :-\

Hi there :),
PNG are great in my opinion. Maybe the black outline, it not pure black, can you upload the sample, so we can test it

k, checked it out in photoshop 5.5, it is pure black  ??? hmm, i have a different question.  is there a way to manipulate the transparency color to, say, (255,0,255)? now i kinda want a black outline...

Use ImageMaskColour to set the transparent colour.

hmm, what is the purpose of pre-initializing the sprites x/y positions and default image with the newsprite() function?

 Less lines of code.
