Any help would > be greatly appreciated! My guess it has something to do with how the PC and Mac transform the pathnames. I'd suggest you set the paths programatically each time you startup. On startup, get the folder your in and then set the filename of each image programatically and see if it doesn't work. I built a 'skinnable' presentation program that way and it worked well. -Chipp ___ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard

RE: disappearing movies and graphics
Ken, I haven't had time to really work with that project until this morning. Buffering the images worked well, but it seems that the only image type I can get to display right are gifs. Although, I have a buffered gif that just doesn't want to show up. It is positioned under a button if that makes any difference. Also, I found that when I buffered the players the movies would flash very quickly in the player while playing. Do you have any idea why the movies are doing this? Thanks so much for your assitance.
