    When I put a picture into the event like "show picture" script. It only shows in the corner even though it is centered.
    I want it to be in fullscreen when you are playing the game. (NOT THE GAME BEING FULLSCREEN. THE PICTURE)

    Give us a screenshot of the show picture windows and tell us how large the picture is and what screen size you've set your game to, then we can tell you what numbers you'll need.

    The picture is 640 by 480. That is also the screen size of the game. Here is what i see when I want to put the picture into the whole frame this_is_what_happens.JPG

    When you're on the "Show Picture" UI.
    Have you make sure both [Scale] is "100%"?
    If it was 100% with that issue, try scaling it to 200% and see what happened.

    ps: I believe you wanted to say "Picture that stretched to Window/Client/Game size"?

    Glad it worked.
    For your next issue, I believe that usually comes from the image file you're using.
    What format if your image? Was it .bmp? .jpg? .gif?
    I recommend try using .png format and try again.

    as I said above, we need to see a screenshot of the show picture command windows, the window where you set the data to be used by the show picture.
    That command contains several ways to enter coordinates because it helps to use the different ways for different options, and it looks as if you mixed up these different options. So as I asked several posts above, show us a screenshot of the show picture command you're using.

    Oh... I can see the possible issue now.
    Can you try resetting your scales to 100%, pick [Upper Left] option, and see what happen??

    to explain in detail - if you set the command to use center positioning, then you'll need to use the center for everything.
    in your case the center of the screen would be 320,240 as coordinates, and you have only a quarter of your picture visible because you set the upper left as the position where that center should be.

    for full screens, always use the upper left and 0,0 coordinates.
    only if you want to center pictures of different or unknown sizes, then use the center and 320,240 coordinates.

    Basically, the choices [Upper Left / Center] is not the pointer of where the picture would start its position on the the screen.
    But it means your choice of where to put [A pointer on the picture] you are using.
    While [coordinate "x , y"] is where the pointer would be put on the screen.
