Sprite error - InvalidOperationException

[abeery]

I'm stumped... when I run this code from the IDE everything works but when I run it from my phone I get an error dialog with the message:

Basic4ppc

Error loading program.
InvalidOperationException

All I'm trying to do is write some text to a bitmap and then replace an existing sprite with the new sprite containing the updated image... code below. I've tried marking for delete, disposing and everything else I can think of but no luck... always works in IDE but fails on device... interesting thing is if I put a DoEvents I can cause the error dialog to temporily be hidden and the program continues to run but the moment the dialog appears and I close it the app terminates

I would appreciate any help

Code:

Sub updateScreenMessages(passedKey)
ErrorLabel (updateScreenMessages_error)
If transparenttextsprite.IsActive=True Then
transparenttextsprite.IsActive=False
Else
Drawer.DrawImage1(eraser.Value,rect.Value,rect.Value,False)
myString = passedKey '& " " & TimeS
Drawer.DrawString1(myString,20,brush1.Value, 0,0)
transparenttextsprite.Dispose
AddObject("transparenttextsprite", "Sprite")
transparenttextsprite.New3(Bitmaptext.Value,1,480,200,1)
transparenttextsprite.X= 0
transparenttextsprite.Y= 375
transparenttextsprite.CurrentFrame = 0
gw.SpriteAdd(transparenttextsprite.Value)
DoEvents 'this guy allows the error to be hidden briefly
End If
Return
updateScreenMessages_error:
End Sub

Can you upload your source code?

I've uploaded a screen shot but the source zips to a file too big to upload... if you PM me an email address I'll send you directly... thanks for your help!

Thanks for agreeing to look at this... I have managed to work around the error by replacing the sprite with an imagebutton so I won't waste your time.
