Hi
If I do:
         SDL_Surface* vector[9];
         vector[0] = IMG_load(...);
         vector[1] = ...
I get:
invalid conversion from �SDL_Surface*� to �int�
Any ideas on how to do such? Many thanks
Michael

PS: Exactly like so and TextureId is a int
	
lotto[TextureId] = IMG_Load(TextureFileName);

Under reasonable assumptions the code you've shown should work.

Post a more complete example, like, actual code, and actual error message and 
error location.

Well I try to get around this error:
libpng error: Decompression error
which i get at runtime. So i want to move this out of the texture load
function into a init function:

SDL_Surface* lotto[TextureId]
	
than later the texture load function:

lotto[TextureId] = IMG_Load(TextureFileName)


but now I get at compile:
�lotto� was not declared in this scope. How should i declare lotto?
Many thanks
Michael

Michael,

We want to help, but we can't. Please read the following to understand 
why.

http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/how-to-post.html#faq-5.8

So now to avoid:
>> libpng error: Decompression error
which occurs at: IMG_Load
I could move SDL_Surface out of the texture load function?

int LoadGLTexture(char *pFileName, int TextureId, SDL_Surface* lotto[]);

This prototype is wrong. How should it be? See also here:

Thanks

Can you say what compiler, linker and debugger you are using?

It sounds to me like you want to do something like this:

void someFunction() {
    int someVariable;
}

void someOtherFunction() {
     someVariable = 5; // someVariable isn't in scope here
}

"lotto" must be declared in the scope in which you intend to use it.
You can consider making it global, but that's probably not a good idea.
You may also consider passing a pointer or reference to "lotto" to the
function you want to use it in.

Was lotto a data member of a class? Are the functions you mentioned
member functions? That would be different.

class SomeClass {
	int someVariable;
public:
    void someFunction() {
        someVariable = -92;
    }
};



I'm sorry, but I can't tell what your problem is from the description
you've given. Can you please be more specific?

> How should i declare lotto?

I think it's more a question of where, but I'm not really sure. Again,
if you'll please be more specific about the problem you are having, I'm
sure someone will try to give you a more useful answer.


Also please consider,
     const int n = 5;
     int a[n];
     a[n] = 1;
May compile but will not work. In this little code snippet "a" is an
array of five ints and has valid indicies [0,4].

LMAO at someone asking for help who can't spell 'you'.
