Thanks Josh it works great.

okay I think I got you. A png, black square 480x272 (screen}...blit that over an image with varing aplha gradients...is that it?

Is it possible to adjust the contrast of the screen? To the effect of fading a screen/image in or out.

thanks to all. I really appreciate this. Of course, credit will be given where credit its due...Thanks

This and that silly loadstring thing were really giving me the run around. The problem is that I am used to programming C and the same things are done in different ways...

wow...accept my appologies...for some reason I couldn't find this function on my own. Honestly, I had researched this for weeks before I ever posted. Again, I applolgize.

Is there a way in LUA to execute a string. I am specifically refering to an indirection string. For example can you execstring("screen:blit,"& stringcordx & ",100," & pngfilestring) or runstring("screen:blit,100,100,picture") or something to that effect. Bax...

Okay I will give it a try.

Basically I am making an rpg and want to make it possible to store data in the form of a table into an external file for saving reasons...txt or whatever. This is an awesome idea. I will post my results Friday when I get back home. Anymore ideas are welcome.

Does any know how to read an array (table) from a text file into memory...

For example my table is stored in my.txt as :

[{1,2,3,4,5}]

whey I try to read it in to lua it becomes "[{1,2,3,4,5}]"

is there and way to get to this table without the quotes.
