there is a large error in my game already!
in my main function it shows "invalid image handle" whenever it get to the drawing of the images, I've tryed everything i can think of to stop it but nothing works!!!

Function BeginGame()
leave = 0
Local image1 = LoadImage("MainGameMenu.bmp")
Local image2 = LoadImage("Button1.bmp")
Local image3 = LoadImage("Button2.bmp")
While Not leave
Cls
DrawImage image1,400,300
DrawImage image2,400,300
DrawImage image3,400,300
Flip
Delay 200
Wend
End Function

p.s. while debuging I noticed that the images were always saved as 0 as opposed to a long string of numbers

Make sure the images are saved with the code, and that the names are correct. (No spelling mistakes)

ok I even saved them like 50 times and copy and pasted names off of my paint program...

Run this, and check the debug log. If you have an image that shows a zero, that's where the problem is.

Function BeginGame()
leave = 0
Local image1 = LoadImage("MainGameMenu.bmp")
Local image2 = LoadImage("Button1.bmp")
Local image3 = LoadImage("Button2.bmp")

;debug stuff
DebugLog "Image 1 = " + image1
DebugLog "Image 2 = " + image2
DebugLog "Image 3 = " + image3
Stop

While Not leave
Cls
DrawImage image1,400,300
DrawImage image2,400,300
DrawImage image3,400,300
Flip
Delay 200
Wend
End Function
