Keith, I'm trying to avoid using process vars, on one hand, and a separate var for the button image, on the other. Pushing the envelope for totally portable code on forms, I guess. The stuff I'm doing is very simple (things like plus signs, the small triangular arrows in round buttons, that sort of thing. The SVG is fast enough - I just want a way to feed it directly into the button object.
But I think there's nothing in 4D at the moment to support this sort of thing.
