When I start the code off with this, attempting to load a PNG image returns null:

Framework brl.max2d
Import brl.d3d9max2d
Import brl.pngloader

When I don't, the PNG loads fine. What am I missing?

The following code gives me a row of 3 images, what are you doing differently?

SuperStrict

Framework brl.max2d
Import brl.d3d9max2d
Import brl.pngloader

Local image:TImage, pixmap:TPixmap

Graphics 800, 600

image = LoadImage("smile.png")
DrawImage(image, 0, 0)

pixmap = LoadPixmap("smile.png")
DrawPixmap(pixmap, 64, 0)

image = LoadImage(pixmap)
DrawImage(image, 128, 0)

Flip
WaitKey()

Brl.graphics?

It's imported by brl.d3d9max2d.

Strange, that works fine for me. I'm using a file included with Incbin, could it be a product of that?

Give me a minute to check.

Edit: Quick thought, are you putting "incbin::" before the filename?

Found it, add:

Import brl.ramstream

And it should be golden mate.

You could use Framework Assistant. It will tell you what you need to import.
