grabsprite...

Hello folks,

I was happy because I found a way for storing all my sprites.
I have 1 bmp file with all the sprites, I draw the image (in the
off-screen) and I load all my sprites in a table with
grabsprite.

I just realized there is a f#@&! limit (I should guess before) :
if the bmp file does not fit in the window I can't grab the sprites
out of that window (of course).

Just in case I have tried grabimage(bmp, sprite,...) but it crashes
when drawing the sprite (of course it is not the same strucure).

Does anyone have an idea ??? I need to "pick" sprites from an image
without display this image before...

Thks a lot

maybe this:

Syntax

Result = ClipSprite(#Sprite, x, y, Width, Height)
Description

Add a clip zone to the specified sprite. For example, if a sprite is 100*100 (Width*Height) and a clipping zone is added as x=10, y=10, Width=20, Height=20 then when the sprite is displayed, only the rectangular area starting from x=10, y=10 with width=20 and height=20 will be displayed.

Or may be by using UseBuffer(Sprite(xxx)).

clisprite was my first idea but having a HUGE sprite (about 500x1024)
seems to be a problem... and clipsprite is time consuming (maybe
because of the size ?)

It works fine using UseBuffer (). I knew this function but I didn't
realized it could be the solution...

Thanks all
