I wonder if anyone can help me with the Allegro getpixel() function?

I am reading in a bitmap and then traversing the bitmap (left to right,
top to bottom) to determine what pixels in the bitmap are 'active' (ie
non-zero)

whatever I try to do, getpixel always returns a 0

Below is a snippet of the code I am using (p is an int, s2 is a bitmap 
containing a sprite):

 . 
 . 
 for (y1=0; y1++; y1<32) 
 {
  for (x1=0; x1++; x1<32) 
  {
   p=getpixel(s2,x1,y1);         
   if ((p!=0) && (p!=-1))                    
    {
     sprintf(msg,"Colour=%d\n", p);
     textout(screen, font, msg,0,0+(10*y1),38);
    }
   }
  }
     
Any ideas anyone?
