You must always use relative paths after getting the effective Filename of this stack, chop the file name to get the current directory, which will then be correct, whereever you are, and in a pre-open stack handler you poke that to a global. "gRoot"
Set the default folder to "gRoot" and that and then call images relatively from that location. (assumes you have a folder of images in the same directory alongside your standalone).
One caveat was that, during development when setting the file reference for an image control, it will always give you the long path from the local hard drive and you must manually chop this back to the relative path.
You can go ahead and import all the images and then using a script, chop all the file refs back in one go. Once done, it works anywhere.
There are probably easier ways... but the above works.
if this doesn't make sense I'll dig up examples. And there are more caveats for CD's going to Windows machines -- don't ever put anything on the root level of a CD... always put your presentation and media file inside a directory on the CD... then if you want it to be "pretty" give the top folder a fancy icon.

The standalone that was spun off for Mac OS 9 did not show
jpegs either in OS 9 or within the Classic emulation
environment in Mac OS X.
I have also developed 2 wee phonetics programs for the
University of st Andrews: jpegs do not show up when
delivered from a server inside a NetBoot image (Jaguar).
