question i would like to ask. How do you clear a surface? i know that you can
use SDL_FillRect to fill it to a colour, but that's not what i mean! i want to
clear the whole surface so i can blit many images to make a composite image with
a transparent background, so i build the image once and blit many times. clear
the image and change the image and blit again many times.

image, filling with 0x000000000 makes its so nothing can be blitted to the
image, or am i missing something?

I think you are referring to per-image alpha blending. Look at
http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fSetAlpha to see the documentation
for SDL_SetAlpha() and see if that is what you're looking for.
