How Do I Properly Use the New placeSprite function?

[Sambo]

I don't get how the new placeSprite function works. I know you told me how before, but I need an example.
What should be here instead of what I have?:

Code: Select all

function onLoad()
   Graphics.activateOverworldHud(WHUD_NONE)
   Graphics.loadImage("../HUD/world_frame.png")
   Graphics.placeSprite(1, "world_frame", 0, 0)
end

Code: Select all

function onLoad()
   Graphics.activateOverworldHud(WHUD_NONE)
   world_frame = Graphics.loadImage("../HUD/world_frame.png")
   Graphics.placeSprite(1, world_frame, 0, 0)
end

Oh.

I just added an article to the wiki to help other people out with this.

EDIT: The new function doesn't work in the world map, does it? I'm still getting an error.
This is what the error says:

Did you use the Graphics.* namespace?

Also please be sure that the graphic has been loaded. If you have your image somewhere else than the custom folder then use Misc.resolveFile:

Code: Select all

function onLoad()
   Graphics.activateOverworldHud(WHUD_NONE)
   myPicture = Graphics.loadImage(Misc.resolveFile("HUD/myPicture.png")
   Graphics.placeSprite(1, myPicture, 0, 0)
end


Because if no graphic file is found, then nil maybe is returned.
