Picture Z position

[AceJP]

This problem is still unsolved. Any scriptor can easily help. What do I do?
I am trying to show a picture via RGSS, and then set it's Z coordinate behind the tile set, thats it. Nothing special.

This is what I have so far...

@image = Sprite.new
@image.bitmap=RPG::Cache.picture("sky.png")
@image.z = -100

But when I run it I get this problem:

Unable to find file(eval):1: in 'intialize'Graphics/Pictures/sky.png

But Sky.png is in the pcitures file.

Can some one help?
I'm so confused -_-

make the z coordinate a negative value, like:

sprite.z = -100

so if using that code, and wanting it to affect picture 10. What would it look like?
I tried messing around with it and can't figure it out :\

I think it is this, but I can be wrong.

$game_screen.pictures[picture_id].z

picture_id will be 10 in your case

first of all, you don't need to put the file extension. And you need to pay attention to the filename, because the programm is case sensitive.
Meaning that if the file's name 'Sky.png' you'll put 'Sky' and not 'sky'.

now, your code seems to be correct...

@sprite = Sprite.new
@sprite.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("sky") # or "Sky" ?
@sprite.z = -100

It should work.

so far so good.
The pic will load now. But it only appears above the tileset. If I set it to a negative z it dissappears behind the panorama. I tried setting the panorama to -10000 in the script, then setting the picture z to just -1, but it still dissappears behind the tileset.
When I take out the panorama, th e pic displays behind the tile set though
