I'm wondering, with respect to the image formats... maybe someone
can clarify this for me...
If I attach BMP files to a RealBasic project, is that sufficient
for ALL platforms? Do I actually need QuickTime installed
anywhere, on any platform, to view those images?
My supposition is that the answer is no, since my code works
perfectly on Windows XP, and breaks ONLY in Mac OS X.
The original image file format should only matter to the REALbasic
IDE. If you are running the Windows version of REALbasic then only
BMP would work without having Quicktime installed (REALbasic might
require quicktime anyways). For the Macintosh versions, any image
format that Quicktime recognizes is acceptable.
The reason why this only affects the IDE is that REALbasic will
convert all images to the proper format for the compiled app. If
Windows (and I think Linux), pictures will be converted to the BMP
format, and for Macintosh it will be converted to the PICT format.
