IMAGE (function)

The IMAGE command allows you to extract an image from a collection of images stored in an IMAGES or SEQUENCE variable. Note that extraction occurs at compile time: therefore, no extra resources are allocated in the compiled program. This command is intended for all those commands that need an image to function, but want to exploit a graphic resource already loaded and optimized. If resource is a TILESET, you can look for a specific frame by name, unsing the NAMED parameter.
