Hi, cant get sprites to work in amidevcpp - have been trying for days

I open the screen with:

	genscreen = OpenScreenTags(NULL,
	                           SA_DisplayID, LORES_KEY,
	                           SA_Depth, 4,
	                           // Give me a lot of border
	                           SA_Width, 320,
	                           SA_Height, 256,
	                           SA_Overscan, 0,
	                           // Hold the titlebar, please
	                           SA_Quiet, TRUE,
	                           // Give me sysfont 0 as default rastport font.
	                           SA_SysFont, 1,
	                           SA_Draggable,0,
	                           SA_Exclusive,1,
	                           SA_Colors,ColorSpec,
	                           SA_Type, CUSTOMSCREEN,
	                           TAG_DONE);

and can easily draw with standard RectFill etc, but cant get sprites to work.

My spritedata:

UWORD sprite_data[]={
	0, 0, /* position control */
	0xffff, 0x0000, /* image data line 1, color 1 */
	0xffff, 0x0000, /* image data line 2, color 1 */
	0x0000, 0xffff, /* image data line 3, color 2 */
	0x0000, 0xffff, /* image data line 4, color 2 */
	0x0000, 0x0000, /* image data line 5, transparent */
	0x0000, 0xffff, /* image data line 6, color 2 */
	0x0000, 0xffff, /* image data line 7, color 2 */
	0xffff, 0xffff, /* image data line 8, color 3 */
	0xffff, 0xffff, /* image data line 9, color 3 */
	0, 0 /* reserved, must init to 0 0 */
};

My sprite show code:

struct SimpleSprite * sprite;
	int sprite_num = GetSprite(sprite, 1);
	if (sprite_num != -1) {
		// here still is ok, usually get sprite num =1

		// create a emty pointer
		UWORD * spritedata;
		// allocate chipmemory
		spritedata=(UWORD) AllocMem(sizeof(sprite_data),MEMF_CHIP);
		// copy sprite data into chipmemory
		CopyMem(sprite_data,spritedata,sizeof(sprite_data));
		// still all ok - get correct data in spritedata

		ChangeSprite(NULL, sprite, &spritedata); // no error
		// but no sprite!!!
					
	}

I have seren examples where you need to set
sprite->x=0;
sprite->y=0;
sprite->height=9;
but cant do that in amidevcpp - get compile error "dereferencing pointer to incomplete type"

Any help is appreciated.

Regards....
