Problem with LoadAnimImage

I have been having a problem with this piece of code.

PlayerImg =LoadAnimImage ("Pie Commander\PCommander Monkey.gal",35,45,0,3)
 If(PlayerImg = 0)
  RuntimeError("The file PCommander Monkey.gal has Not been loaded/err code 2")
 EndIf

The run time error always triggers and I don't know why.
Any help would be appreciated.

B3D doesn't support the .gal filetype -- you need to use either BMP, PNG or JPG.

Okay thanks for pointing that out for me. :) (it wasn't working with the BMP's, but It is ok with PNG format?)

Well now I need to go find out how to make bitmaps in those formats.
Thanks xlsior. :)

It sounds like a Graphics Gale format
You should be able to export the animation as a single image.

It should be working with 24-bit BMP as well -- but PNG's would typically be smaller in filesize.

But note that the LoadAnimImage is expecting an image strip -- e.g. if you have three 64x64 frames that you're loading, it will expect a 192x64 pixel image strip that contails all three frames side-by-side.
