GuiControl, hide, but then can't show again

[clarkj0388]

I'm just trying to create a gui that flips between two pictures quickly... if I use GuiControl to change the pic, it creates the dreaded flicker.

Instead I tried layering two images, and wanted to just hide and show the top image over and over again. It creates no flicker which is great, but once I hide one control, it won't show again...

I'm confused.

Code: Select all

StopSong:
Gui, SS:New, -Caption -DPIScale,
Gui, SS:+AlwaysOnTop
Gui, SS: Margin, 0, 0
Gui, SS: Color, White
Gui, SS: Add, Picture, vPicY x0 y0 w1920 h1080, vn_y.png
Gui, SS: Add, Picture, vPicW x0 y0 w1920 h1080, vn_w.png
Gui, SS: Show, x0 y0 w1920 h1080, StopSong


Sleep 1000

VarSleep = 200


Sleep %VarSleep%
GuiControl, SS:, PicW, hide
Sleep %VarSleep%
GuiControl, SS:, PicW, show





Sleep 500
