GET graphics

[The walrus]

I have a problem with GET. This code works fine:

Code:

SCREEN 12
'Draw something
GET (0,0)-(31,31), HI(0)

But as soon as I use variables it won't work. This code:

Code:

SCREEN 12
'Draw something
x1 = 0
y1 = 0
x2 = 31
y2 = 31
GET (x1,y1)-(x2,y2), HI(0)

causes an "Illegal function call". Am I doing something wrong? It looks fine to me.

that is weird yes....if I was to take a guess (since it does seem fine to me, the get line that is, it would be to initialize your variables as integers

x1% = 0
y1% = 0
x2% = 0
y2% = 0

GET (x1%, y1%) - (x2%, y2%), HI(0)

or issue a DEFINT A-Z before the code

I suppose you dimensioned HI correctly before using GET?

Thanks MystikShadows, I'll try that.

I used the formula in QB's help to find the size of the array. I also tried just setting it to 1000, which should be far more than needed.

it may be a arguemtn problem.....may want to stick this at the top of your code:

Code:

DEFINT A-Z

the integer problem is all i can think of, that must be the problmem, i always make my variables integers for some reasno, unless its a text then instead of % you would use $
