The bare pixmap code from my first post still gives problems when I use it in an empty file. But it is in the same IDE instance as my project. the New file is in no way linked to the project and neither is the Build File locked to the project or this seperate file, yet the IDE/Compiler still seems to think that the Includes/imports from my project also apply to the seperate, empty bmx file. I assume that id why it did not work in the new file either.
What happens when you load the 'bare pixmap code' into the IDE on it's own?
What IDE are you using? What happens when you use MaxIDE?
