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.

disappearing movies and graphics
Hi all. I have a (hopefully) easy question about my standalone program. I have a folder with my graphics in it (jpegs and gifs) and one with my Quicktime movies and use relative paths in the program. I built a standalone on a Mac, and when I run it on another Mac the movies do not show up but the players do and some graphics show up, other graphics show up when I go to the next card and then go back, and some don't show up at all. Am I missing an important concept about graphics and movies in Metacard? (I am very new to the program and programming in general.) When I save the same program on a PC and run the standalone on the PC, everything shows up! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
