images gone in standalone
Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions.. turns out it was a different issue. The project is still small with just a few images, so I began to rebuild it from scratch, making standalones after any major additions. Images in the standalones were fine until I checked 'copy referenced files' in the standalone application settings and selected a few mp3 files to be stored in a folder called 'media.' At that point the mp3 files were correctly copied into the Mac bundle, but images (for button states, as well as a few background images) were gone. When I unchecked 'copy referenced files,' the images appeared again as they should, and I was able to put the 'media' folder with mp3 files into the bundle manually after choosing 'show package contents' for the standalone in the Finder. Um, I should probably also have mentioned that I was doing this is 4.0.. after upgrading to 4.6.4, the problem has gone away, and I'm able to use 'copy referenced files' without vaporising my poor images. -Curt ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
images gone in standalone
My project has about 12 images, most of which are used as the icons for buttons with normal, hover, and disabled states, and two as images displayed on a card. When I build a standalone on Mac (haven't tried Windows yet), the images are gone, replaced by grey boxes; the buttons function normally otherwise. I used Import as Control to put them onto a card that's just storage for graphics. They're still showing normally on that card in development, but when I go to that card in the standalone, there is nothing but the grey boxes. When I check the application browser they are all still listed for the graphics card. When I check the Images library for 'this stack' they usually are there, though I could swear a few times choosing 'this library' has given blank rows.. I've tried reimporting through Import File... in the Image Library with no better result. Don't know if it's relevant, but I have renamed the file in the Finder in between sessions. Could that lead to some link being lost?

If so, you have to make sure the image is imported, not referenced. But since you said you imported them, I'm not sure why they would disappear in the standalone. Also make sure that the ID numbers of your imported images do not conflict with ID's of the standard images. That can cause odd anomalies when viewing your stack images in the Image Library.

I think an ID conflict would just give him the wrong image, not a blank one. Just guessing tho'.

Re: images gone in standalone
Right, but he had also reported oddities when trying to view his images in the stack's image library. ID conflicts can cause that.

Re: images gone in standalone
Couple things to look at: 1) Are the images stored in the stack or on the hard disk? Easy way to check for this is select an image (not a button) and enter in the msg box: put the filename of the selObj If they're stored on the hard disk then you'll need to import them into the stack. Use the Import as Control from the File menu in the Rev IDE. 2) If the images are indeed not linked to filenames, check to see if they are in the same stack. If they are not in the same stack, then put them in the same stack and re-link them and then set their visibility to false. I typically put a last card in the stack and store all my images there, so I don't have to make them invisible. Of course you don't want folks navigating to this card! 3) It might help speed things up if you do something like (card script of main stack): on preOpenStack go last cd go first cd end preOpenStack This effectively caches all images on the last card and speeds up execution. -- Chipp Walters CEO, Shafer Walters Group, Inc. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
