What would it mean to $app->fill on $app if there is no underlying video surface?? boom probably. I've got an SDL assumption, presumably one can manipulate surfaces, and manipulate (system memory) surfaces, without [having a frame buffer / never initied the video system]? As for the flag option, it seems a little excessive to have to branch the code for that! (I'm just thinking what your your ultimate response will be Dave...) Bollocks to it, I dont care, it's small fry, things dont fail. (but IMHO that BEGIN stuff isn't pretty, and it would be fairly (in the realm of non-video) common scaffolding, factor it away are my thoughts ) All the best, Wayne __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
