Hi!

The title of your bitmap might be to long
"awesome-fire-dragon-ablaze.jpg"

try making it under 20 characters.

As for the white : overlay makes only the black part invisible.

Ottawa

btw I noticed that you posted this problem or a part of this
problem 3 times.

about posting it three times, sorry about that. One of them i was trying to delete and the other post was getting too long. Im sorry about that. So how would i make the white part invisible?

so, to make white invisibe, is there a way? Or do I somehow need to make it black?

You'll need to make it black, to delete it.

so to do that, do i just open it into a paint program and paint black over it or what? and also, with sliders, what does the engine mean when it says "invalid slider size"? does that mean the bitmaps too big? Im sorry for bugging you with this.

That's correct.

ok, i did that, but when i coded OVERLAY | VISIBLE, the black still showed up. Do you know why?

Can you upload the image??

yes, the image comes up, and the program is working except for the overlay. heres a link to the picture
