Too many arguements in function call HELP

MackieJ (39)
I don't seem to know why I keep getting this too many arguments in function call error, and no matter what I've tried to do has changed it.

Post the whole error message please. Essentially, you have to match exactly the parameters - number, type and order - against the function header/prototype.

Ignoring warnings, which I am sure someone will come along and give you advice on, the error is in your use of the FillScreen function.

Your line 12 in the first section shows 2 parameters being passed while the corresponding method in your class has none. That's the error! They have to match or you have to overload the method, ie have another version that takes 2 parameters.
