Hi All,

I'm having a small prob accessing the RLE_SPRITE struct variables.

If I have a datafile variable "datafile" I access an item

datafile[The_Sprite].dat

to put the sprite on the screen.

Now what I want to do is to access the "w" and "h" ints defined in

typedef struct RLE_SPRITE /* a RLE compressed sprite */

{

int w, h; /* width and height in pixels */

int color_depth; /* color depth of the image */

int size; /* size of sprite data in bytes */

signed char dat[0]; /* RLE bitmap data */

} RLE_SPRITE;

This would be done by referring to "datafile[The_Sprite].w" right? Only it
refuses to compile with the error "structure has no member named 'w' ". How
can this be? It is clearly defined in Allegro.h. Am I missing something? The
int "size" is easily accessed, I checked, but the compiler refuses to
acknowledge the existance of "w" or "h" although they are defined! Can you
enlighten me?

Any help will be sincerely appreciated! Please reply by mail if at all
possible.

Fanx!!

Kind Regards,

Rylan
