SplashImageOn ( "title", "file" [, width [, height [, x pos [, y pos [, opt]]]]] )

Parameters

title	Title for splash window.
file	full path\filename of image (BMP, GIF, or JPG)
width	[optional] width of window in pixels. (default is 500)
height	[optional] height of window in pixels. (default is 400)
x pos	[optional] position from left (in pixels) of splash window. (default is centered)
y pos	[optional] position from top (in pixels) of splash window. (default is centered)
opt	[optional] Add up the options you want. Default is 'always on top/with title' 1 = Thin bordered titleless window 2 = Without "always on top" attribute 16 = Windows can be moved

Return Value

None.

Remarks

To skip an optional parameter, leaving it's default value intact, use a value of -1.

The image is scaled to specified width and height and should be a Bitmap, GIF, or JPEG image. Icons (ICOs) will not display, though the window still appears. PNG images throw an error message of failing to load, and so do invalid files/paths.

Images are not embedded in the executable unless you use FileInstall

Only one SplashImage/Text window is allowed at one time; so if you wish to cycle through multiple images/text, simply call SplashImageOn/SplashTextOn again with the new information.
