Importing external graphics

[Trowar]

I am trying to make a level editor and I'm trying to use the following system to display all of my available level tiles on the screen:

There is a folder called 'Tiles' which contains bitmap images that use incremental numbers as the filename e.g. 1.bmp,2.bmp,3.bmp etc.

In the even editor I use MMF fastloops to do the following:

Start Loop 'Draw Y' for 24 loops
On loop 'Draw Y' Start loop 'Draw X' for 28 loop
On loop X:
Set X position of active object to X Loop POS * 32
Set Y position of active object to Y Loop POS * 32
Load animation frame "C:\Users\Muffin\Desktop\Zed\Tiles\"+Str$(LoopInde x("Draw Y S")*28+LoopIndex("Draw X S")+1)+".bmp"
Paste animation into Background

My problem is that every pasted animation frame is always of the last bitmap file in the folder. I need to ensure that MMF pastes each image in the folder one by one.

I hope this makes sense?

Example MFA and 5 graphics tiles are available at:

Edit:
If anyone has any suggestion on a better way of reading external graphics files in real time, please let me know.

Apparently I can just use the Active Picture object instead.

Problem Solved!

You could also use a TextBlitter object instead of having an active picture object on every single tile. It's rather easy to get it to animate "tiles" in it and also make backdrop objects paste into the background with it on tiles that are obstacles. I know because I've done it multiple times before and am currently doing it in my game and with this method all your tiles would even be in one single bitmap file.
