Richmond, First of all I never use lockscreens in preopencards. It's redundant unless there are some conditions I'm unaware of.
I recently had this problem when I used "file==>Import control from==>image file" and then subsequently set the filename property. It seemed like once the image control was using an image imported to stack I could never set the filename property and get anything other than the "horrible gray square". I don't think it was always this way. What I did to fix it was to delete the control and then added an empty image control from the IDE tools pallet. After that I was able to set the filename property and see the images just fine and dandy. Any chance this is also your problem?

I am being extremely stupid, and am getting so desperate I don't mind admitting it. I have a stack containing a series of images that are 'empty' images with their sources set to an external folder. Now in my stackScript I have this: |global route66 on preOpenStack put specialFolderPath("resources") & "/Desktop/Obfuscated/May 2018/assets/img/" into route66 go to card "TITLE" end preOpenStack| and in my cardScript I have this: |on preOpenCard set the lockScreen to true -------- set the filename of img "p1" to empty ------- set the filename of img "p1" to (route66 & "c1.png") set the blendlevel of img "p1" to 0 -------- wait 3 ticks set the lockScreen to false end preOpenCard so, WHY cannot I see the target image, merely a horrible grey square?
