Using referenced images for icons

2003-02-17 Thread Ken Norris (dialup)
How can I use referenced images for both normal and hilited button icons. Or maybe that's not the right approach. Using the large DOWN full screen image grouped so I can "window through" the UP image on mouseDown works but there are some problems: 1) If I drag out of the button and release, the

Hi Ken, Hi list, I've been following the image threads, but some of it evades me. Please bear with a newbie on this stuff. I have a button (there may be at up to 14 more of these) which does icon hiliting using referenced images. Pretty normal so far. When I first brought in the referenced im

Howard, since you are able to access the freezing card with pre-version 2.0 on at least one platform, try this: Create a new card--from the toolbar--and copy all scripts and objects from the freezing card to the new card. See whether the new card works on both platforms. Ted Howard Bornstein wr

Greg, P.S. I was wrong to say you should avoid resizing the images in the subStack for fear of altering the proportions. It is only the formatted size that is needed and that is unaffected by resizing. So size them any way that is convenient in the substack. Jim ___

>What happens if you type "lock messages; go cd 5" in the Message Box? Nice suggestion. Unfortunately, it still freezes. This falls into the category, in my mind, of "corrupt stack". I had not been working on the opencard scripts of the card or anything related. It just sort of stopped working.
