Pixmaps - never used one before

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Pixmaps - never used one before

Is it possible to do the following:

Put my 800x600 png into a collision layer using the collideImage command

check my sprite for collision with background image by doing a

if collideImage...?

If this is possible, I presume I can put my 800x600 collision image into the collision layer once before my main loop (eg. I don't have to keep putting it there every frame as the background never changes) ?
