OK: finally I have sorted out the problem. It seems that IFF I have this in my cardScript:
globalroute66
onpreOpenCard
putspecialFolderPath("resources") & "/assets/img/" intoroute66
everything works.
What I would like to know is:
Why does THAT script & the declaration of a global NOT work when it
resides in the stackScript?

So, I have corrected the specialFolderPath as per your instructions.But I am still going wrong as my source for the imgData of img "p1" is stilllisted asroute66p1.png . . . Richmond.

In a standalone it points to the folder containing files you've included in the Copy Files pane of the standalone builder.Therefore, there will never be a folder specialFolderPath("resources") & "/Desktop/..." unless you have created a Desktop folder inside the one holding your stack. The correct path would be specialFolderPath("resources") & "/Obfuscated/May 2018/assets/img/"-- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [email protected] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.comOn April 29, 2018 11:27:39 AM Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode <[email protected]> wrote:I am being extremely stupid, and am getting so desperate I don't mind admitting it.

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?
