Code Bug (Disposed Object?)

[JasonMc]

I am using the following codes:

This code triggers my transport sequence. I am not having any variable sequences.

Private Sub lblLab_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lblLab.Click
        If boolTransportActive = False Then
            lblTitle.Text = "CANNOT TRANSPORT"
            lblTitle.ForeColor = Color.Red
            Exit Sub
        ElseIf boolTransportActive = True Then
            If strCurrentLocation = "Lab" Then
                strTransportTo = "Pet Store"
                transport.Show()
                Me.Close()
            ElseIf strCurrentLocation = "Pet Store" Then
                strTransportTo = "Lab"
                transport.Show()
                Me.Close()
            End If
        End If

This is the complete class for "transport".

Public Class transport
    
    Private Sub transport_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.Opacity = 0
        Dim sngOpacity As Single
        For sngOpacity = 0 To 1 Step 0.05
            Me.Opacity = sngOpacity
            Me.Refresh()
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
        Next
        currentframe.Close()

        If strTransportTo = "Lab" Then
            lab1a.Show()
            lab1a.Opacity = 0
            For sngOpacity = 0 To 1 Step 0.05
                lab1a.Opacity = sngOpacity
                lab1a.Refresh()
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
            Next
        ElseIf strTransportTo = "Pet Store" Then
            hab1a.Show()
            hab1a.Opacity = 0
            For sngOpacity = 0 To 1 Step 0.05
                hab1a.Opacity = sngOpacity
                hab1a.Refresh()
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
            Next
        ElseIf strTransportTo = "News Station" Then
            rnn1a.Show()
            rnn1a.Opacity = 0
            For sngOpacity = 0 To 1 Step 0.05
                rnn1a.Opacity = sngOpacity
                rnn1a.Refresh()
                System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
            Next
        End If
        Me.Close()
    End Sub

End Class

This is the error I am receiving:

InnerException:

What is going wrong? I reach the error at the first instance of "transport.Show()"

[kleinma]

why are you closing the form in the load event?

I'm making a game. The effect I am aiming for is to fade one screen to white, and then fade that to the new screen.
