Thanks. That worked.

I'm still in the early stages of my app dev and I'm still trying to figure out the look & feel of my app. This was the first off-screen assembled bitmap I was drawing to the roScreen. Up until this point I was using a lot of DrawText( ). I've tried to separate the logic from the drawing functions and that shouldn't change, but if I am to switch over to a more ( off-screen ) bitmap heavy version, I'm most likely going to have to make a change to my main loop... but maybe not as drastic a change as I think.
Although, the alternative is to just draw all bitmaps directly to the roScreen themselves... tsk tsk tsk decisions. decisions.
Off topic, I had to add a "screen = Invalid" after the while loop or the main Roku menu disappears. ( viewtopic.php?f=34&t=75635 )
peace & 42
