Yes that is exactly it. And because of that, if LC does not "see" that first
group before the copy, then the images will not display correctly. If the
images are in the same stack, then there is no problem, you can make copies of
the group as much as you want, but suppose you copied the group
Hi Stephen,
Why lose the quotes, the texts are literals and not variables.

Bob,
The reason I went for the array rather than a naming convention such as you
suggest is because I have no idea how Livecode resolves the names. I have an
impression that it looks at the stack and works its way up through the images
in ID order. The upshot is that a button in a copy of

About saving images: I learned a long time ago, both with graphics and

Simon,
try to add "of me" like below

put the ID of image x of me into tID
put the short name of image x of me into tName

end repeat
Kind regards

Hi Bernd,
Unfortunately when I tried your code the copies referred back to the original.

Well I tried using custom props but did not get very far with them. My
solution is to add the image files to the group and hide them behind other
controls. I have added the attached handler that sets the button icons to the
values of the images in the group. The handler should be called when

Hi Simon,
I think the easiest way would be to copy the images your custom control uses
to the custom controls.
then add this code to the group (it is for one button "bOne" and two images
"greenRound" and "redQMark"
on newGroup
resolve image "redQMark" relative to button "bOne" of me

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your replies. I apologise for my question, I should have been
clearer. However, I have copied your response to my “hints and tips” document
for reference in the future as it seems like a useful workflow to know.
To clarify my question; I have created a simple custom
Hello Simon,
I see I probably misunderstood what you were trying to do. With a custom
control I might be tempted to store the images in a customProp if I wanted
multiple resolutions to travel with the group object. Then do something like
setting the imageData of the image.

Hello Simon,
When you say "compared to storing the images on a card or in a folder” it
suggests two very different ways of organizing your source images. If you are
taking advantage of LiveCode’s automagical ability to pick the correct
resolution image then you need to have the images in your
Never mind I figured out why it wasn't working when I tested it. I was
copy/pasting the custom control group into a stack on the desktop, but my
images were relatively linked to png's in a subfolder in one of my project
folders! LOL!
It works fine.

Hmmm just tested. Doesn't seem to work. I'll have to investigate why. The old
script works though I pasted it numerous times.

No sooner said than done. Keep in mind this method depends on four things:
1. Your main group consists of a number of child groups composed of three
controls: a button, an icon image and a disabledIcon image
2. Your button names begin with "btn" and your images begin with "img" eg.
"btnNew"
3.
I have a custom control group with a series of buttons, each with an enabled
icon and a disabled icon. I have this if the group script, which should give
you some idea how to proceed:
on newBackground
-- Relink buttons to graphics as they all have different ID's now
set the icon of button
