| It's usually best to use the Graphics command before doing anything with graphics, including loading images. I believe that after the images are loaded, you can call graphics again, to change resolution or refresh rate or simular, without the need to reload the images. |

| Calling Graphics after loading images never used to work very well in B3D. Perhaps the same is true here? I would hazard a guess that the TImage's get corrupted or invalidated during a Graphics call. |

| thaks for that, i was not aware you could recall the graphics command more than one regards |
