SOLVED: Kept remaking object untill it worked
Okay,
So I'm new to these forums...
What I'm trying to do is make an image editor. It works by using 1024 (32x32) objects. It runs fast and has pen, flood-fill, line, circle, rectangle and swap tools. You can also rotate and flip your image. You can also save your image. However, I'm having some trouble loading an image into it. I have tried replacing and adding sprites then using surface_getpixel, but it has always resulted in a black canvas. Any help would be appreciated.

The gmk file can be downloaded here:

My current codes for loading:

//in load object executed for itself
{
name=get_string("Load Image: (.pngs only!!!)",-1);
}

//in load object executed for itself
if (name != "")
then
{
if (file_exists(name+".png"))
then
{
sprite_replace(spr_test009,working_directory+name+".png\",0,0,0,0,0);
surf=surface_create(32,32);
surface_set_target(surf);
draw_sprite_stretched(spr_test009,0,0,0,32,32);
surface_reset_target();
}
}

//in load object executed for all obj_white_pixels
if ((obj_com_load).name != "")
then
{
if (file_exists((obj_com_load).name+".png"))
then
{
color=surface_getpixel((obj_com_load).surf,x/32,y/32);
}
}

".png\" should only be ".png"

Also, many things could be happening. The pixel's code may be being executed before the loader's code.

Anyway, the best thing for you to do is try drawing that surface to the screen. This is a better way of drawing an editable image than objects, but more importantly, it will let you see where your problem is.
