Hi all,

I am trying to display with transparency a TGA image that has R,G,B and alpha channel. The Blitz manual says that DrawBlock paints without taking into account transparency or MaskImage but that Drawimage does take them into account. I am using the latter but all image gets displayed regardless of the information present in the transparency channel. I dont have problems texturing the image on a 3D surface. In that case transparency is fine. But, what I need is 2D painting with transparency. My code:

-----------------------
Graphics 1280,1024,32,1

im=LoadImage("temp.tga")
While not keyhit(1)
DrawImage im,0,0
Wend
-----------------------

Thanks for your help
