With respect to my previous problem with different behavior on Tiger vs. Leopard, we have installed the newer build (r371-intel) and it works well on both. One time on Tiger we had a recurrence of the problem where a shoes process wouldn't become foreground... and we rebooted and the problem went away. But other than that one time, it has worked on both Tiger and Leopard, and we have exercised it quite a bit.
Now I have another newby question. We have some images with code behind them (i.e., using images as buttons) and we are using a flow to position them. However, when a button is pushed, we want to change the image. But, we don't want the flow to re-position the item -- and we will replace the image with one of the same size. I am finding this difficult to achieve. I feel like the "image" object should have some method to replace the current image with something different... but I don't know how to investigate the methods available on the image object. Clues would be appreciated.
