I have problem with class TGraphics which is supposed to manage SDL graphics, but for some reason, it's methods can't access private variables, properties won't work, and so initialization won't.


Class interface-------------------------------------------------------------------

TGraphics=Class
    private
      _W,_H,_BPP:integer;
      _Rate,_Channels,_Buffers:integer;
      _Flags:UInt32;
      _Title,_IconPath:string;
      _Screen:TPicture; //TPicture is defined somewhere else
      _HWSurface,_HWAccel,_FullScreen,_NoFrame,_DoubleBuf,_Cursor:boolean;

      function GetW:integer;
      function GetH:integer;
      function GetBPP:integer;
      function GetRate:integer;
      function GetChannels:integer;
      function GetBuffers:integer;
      function GetTitle:string;
      function GetIconPath:string;
      function GetHWSurface:boolean;
      function GetHWAccel:boolean;
      function GetFullScreen:boolean;
      function GetNoFrame:boolean;
      function GetDoubleBuf:boolean;
      function GetCursor:boolean;
      procedure SetW(const val:integer);
      procedure SetH(const val:integer);
      procedure SetBPP(const val:integer);
      procedure SetRate(const val:integer);
      procedure SetChannels(const val:integer);
      procedure SetBuffers(const val:integer);
      procedure SetTitle(const val:string);
      procedure SetIconPath(const val:string);
      procedure SetHWSurface(const val:boolean);
      procedure SetHWAccel(const val:boolean);
      procedure SetFullScreen(const val:boolean);
      procedure SetNoFrame(const val:boolean);
      procedure SetDoubleBuf(const val:boolean);
      procedure SetCursor(const val:boolean);

    public
      constructor Create;
      destructor Destroy;override;
      procedure Initialize;
      procedure Refresh;

      property W:integer read GetW write SetW;
      property H:integer read GetH write SetH;
      property BPP:integer read GetBPP write SetBPP;
      property Rate:integer read GetRate write SetRate;
      property Channels:integer read GetChannels write SetChannels;
      property Buffers:integer read GetBuffers write SetBuffers;
      property Title:string read GetTitle write SetTitle;
      property IconPath:string read GetIconPath write SetIconPath;
      property HWSurface:boolean read GetHWSurface write SetHWSurface;
      property HWAccel:boolean read GetHWAccel write SetHWAccel;
      property FullScreen:boolean read GetFullScreen write SetFullScreen;
      property NoFrame:boolean read GetNoFrame write SetNoFrame;
      property DoubleBuf:boolean read GetDoubleBuf write SetDoubleBuf;
      property CursorEnabled:boolean read GetCursor write SetCursor;

   end;

Example of property function Get and procedure Set, all of them are the same--------------

function TGraphics.GetW:integer;
begin
    GetW:=_W;//ERROR LINE
end;
procedure TGraphics.SetW(const val:integer);
begin
    _W:=val; //ERROR LINE
end;

Initialize method-------------------------------------------------------------------------

procedure TGraphics.Initialize;
var
    Icon:PSDL_Surface;
begin
    SDL_Init( SDL_INIT_VIDEO or SDL_INIT_AUDIO );
    SDL_WM_SetCaption( PChar(_Title), PChar(_Title));//ERROR LINE

    if FileExists(_IconPath) then begin//ERROR LINE...and every other which contains private variables
      Icon:=LoadImage(_IconPath);
      if Icon=nil then Raise Exception.Create('Failed to load icon image.')
                  else begin
                    SDL_WM_SetIcon( Icon, nil );
                    SDL_FreeSurface(Icon);
                  end;
    end;

    _Flags:=0;
    if _HWSurface then _Flags:=_Flags or SDL_HWSURFACE;
    if _HWAccel then _Flags:=_Flags or SDL_HWACCEL;
    if _FullScreen then _Flags:=_Flags or SDL_FULLSCREEN;
    if _NoFrame then _Flags:=_Flags or SDL_NOFRAME;
    if _DoubleBuf then _Flags:=_Flags or SDL_DOUBLEBUF;

    {_Screen:=TMainScreen.Create;
    _Screen.SetVideoMode(_W,_H,_BPP,_Flags);}

    _Screen.Create(_W,_H);
    SDL_FreeSurface(_Screen._Picture);
    _Screen._Picture:=SDL_SetVideoMode(_W,_H,_BPP,_Flags);

    if _Screen._Picture=nil then Raise Exception.Create('Failed to setup video');

    if _Cursor then SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_DISABLE)
               else SDL_ShowCursor(SDL_ENABLE);

    if Mix_OpenAudio(_Rate,MIX_DEFAULT_FORMAT,_Channels,_Buffers)<>0 then
      Raise Exception.Create('Failed to setup audio');

    if TTF_INIT=-1 then Raise Exception.Create('Failed to setup fonts');
 end;

-------------------------------------------------------

Error is: " Project raised exception class 'External: SIGSEV' "
and it is reported for every line that contains private variables, such as some lines marked above.

What is wrong here?
