I'm trying to load a PNG image that I saved as "Other" data in the Allegro datafile to a OpenLayer Bitmap. I'm definately not doing it right since it's giving a runtime error in the Bitmap constructor.

Here is how I'm trying to do it.

DATAFILE *dataFile = load_datafile("test data.dat");
BITMAP *bitmap = load_memory_png(dataFile[0].dat, sizeof(dataFile[0].dat), 0); //loadpng library function
Bitmap *newBitmap = Bitmap(bitmap, HAS_ALPHA_CHANNEL);

I'm sure someone knows the right to do this.

EDIT: Well I fixed it, didn't realize loadpng had functions to help with that.

FYI, the problem was the .dat pointer is only four bytes, so you're basically telling loadpng that the png data is only 4 bytes long. That fails and returns NULL, which means the Bitmap doesn't get made. For the size of the data, you want to use the .len field.
