Then I click elsewhere on the card (so the first image is not selected) and paste my second image. Still, the second image appears right on top of the first one, no matter where the first one is located on the screen. Where are you getting the images in the clipboard from?

If it is just on top, then resizing it should work. I'm sure that it is going into the first one. It pastes on top of the first image no matter where the first image is on the screen. After I paste it, when I click on it and move it, both images move together as if they were one image (assuming that the second one is smaller and I can still see the first image behind it).

To maintain transparency, you'd save yourself a lot of trouble if you would save your images as transparent gif or png images in your paint program. Then import the images from disk, using Import as control in Rev's file menu. That will maintain transparency as well as avoid all the resizing problems you were having. Importing images from disk is the standard way to get them into a stack. In fact, until I answered your questions about it, I had never even tried to paste an image directly into a stack from the clipboard. It seems to be far more work to paste the image than to import it from disk. Pasting requires a lot of extra scripting to get the image into the same state that is produced automatically with an import. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Pasting requires a lot of extra scripting to get the image into the same state that is produced automatically with an import. To play devils advocate, it would be nice to be able to paste directly from one app to a Rev app. You might be making a paint program, layout program, multimedia app, or various other apps where this would be useful. The pasting and getting extra white space needs to be Bugzillaed. For creating your interface in Rev, you should just import the image as normal for the time being. Not sure if cutting and pasting from another app and maintaining transparency is a job for Rev though. I think that is saved to the file and not in the host app's memory.

In Claris/AppleWorks SAVE the pix as .gif or .jpg and then IMPORT that pix from MC/Rev. This has the added benefit that the pix can be opened again in Claris if editing is required Ray G.

What gives? :) I broke down and actually tried it. I should have done that first. Some of what I wrote before is wrong. The first pasted image creates a card-sized image object by default and pastes your image into it. No matter what the natural size of the image, it now takes up the whole card and its formattedwidth and formattedheight are the same as the card size. There's a lot of white space around it. I used the crop command to remove the excess white space: crop image 1 to 100,100,200,200 -- use whatever rect you need If you don't want to figure out a rect, you can place a transparent field or button over the image and resize it like a frame around the part you want to keep. Then you can use: crop image 1 to the rect of btn frame This gave me a small image object with very little white space, containing only the actual picture content. After that, every new paste operation always replaced the contents of the first image object, even if I changed tools in between. I couldn't create a second new object just by pasting. So I created one by script: create image paste This gives me a second image object and the paste goes into that one. An interesting side effect is that the default size of the new second image is the same as the now-cropped image 1. To control the size of a new image object, set the imageTemplate to whatever properties you need; for example: set the rect of the imageTemplate to 100,100,200,200 create image paste That seems to do it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
