Help CreateFrame()

[Cirbafe]

i'm learning how to create a frame but i only get a green screen with this code

CreateFrame("Frame", "Fit", UIParent)
Fit:SetSize(160, 20)
Fit:SetPoint("CENTER")
 
WoWProFit:SetBackdrop( {
    bgFile = "Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltip-Background",
    tile = true,
    tilesize = 16,
    edgeFile = "Interface\Tooltips\UI-Tooltip-Border",
    edgeSize = 16,
    insets = { left = 4, right = 3, top = 4, bottom = 3}
    } )
Fit:SetBackdropColor(0.2,0.2,0.2,0.7)

where's is the problem?

Interface\Tooltips... wrong
Interface\\Tooltips... correct >.<

self.FlareFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "MUI_Flares", UIParent)
self.FlareFrame:SetSize(20,20)
self.FlareFrame:SetBackdrop({
    bgFile = "Interface/DialogFrame/UI-DialogBox-Background",
    edgeFile = "Interface/Tooltips/UI-Tooltip-Border",
    tile = true, tileSize = 32, edgeSize = 16,
    insets = { left = 1, right = 1, top = 1, bottom = 1 }
  })

It looks like the problem is the \ character (it means "ignore following char") so either use a / (see above example) or a \\ (so that it ignores processing the 2nd 'ignore next' character. It's green b/c it can't fine the image b/c it isn't reading the path the way you think it's reading the path

Edit: So, I sat here typing all that and you have the temerity to find the problem while I'm trying to post? I hope gnomes nibble your knees down to nubs.

Not quite, I'm not sure how to explain it though, so I'll just link the wikipedia article

Most "simplified" explanations for a specific context are of the 'er, not precisely' variety, when speaking to a non-simplified audience. (If you really want to discuss escape mechanics, I can start with ANSI graphics and work our way to the present but somehow I think that would belabor the point )

Gosh, I'd love to help but you'd under-post me again so, here's what you do: just imagine I'm posting the simple answer so that it'll come to you and you can post "oh, I figured it out" just before I'd hit the submit button.

Why not find a small mod -- small mods tend to not to need reuse optimization and are easier for novices to read -- that looks like what you're on about and look at the Lua there; or look it up on the Wiki:
