Can anyone help me with an Easyptr query? I am trying to assign a sprite to be a loose item object within a BASIC program, with the MITEM command. It works fine if you put the sprite in the loose item from Easymenu, but the sprite needs to be changed from BASIC.
Design a simple menu, call it test_men for example. Create just one loose item big enough to hold the sprite, which is called hand_spr. This will be loose item -1 Here's the simple program to set it up: 100 MDRAW #0,'flp1_test_men' 110 MITEM #0,-1,-2,'flp1_hand_spr','H' 120 num = MCALL(#0) 130 MCLEAR #0 Line 110 sets the object for loose item number -1 to be a sprite (item type -2 for the sprite as per page 2/123 of the manual), and 'H' is the selection key. The menu appears but the loose item is blank. Very occasionally you'll get a 'bad parameter' error or the sprite appears outside the loose item and the program crashes. If you substitute a text item with 110 MITEM #0,-1,0,'Hi','H' the program works as expected. This is driving me mad trying to resolve this and the facility is needed for a program I'm writing. Help!
