Hi Dave,
Here's my best guess:
When you copy the icons to the new stack, RR gives them new IDs
unrelated to the original IDs they have in the converted stack. The
buttons are still looking for the old icon IDs which are now gone from
memory (after closing old stack), so no icons are displayed.
To fix it, you can either change the ID of the images or change the icon
properties of the buttons so they reference the images in the RR stack.

Now that the rubber is 5 weeks away from hitting the road, I'm
learning about "issues."
A HyperCard demonstration came from a stack called StackStarter by
Robertson Smith. The user clicks on a button named shark. That button
disappears and a new button appears as a fin that 'chases' the cursor
until they meet up (i.e., button catches cursor). The button icon
changes to an open shark's mouth, (the first finger) cursor disappears
and is replaced by an amputated stump (button icon), and a chomping
sound is played. After a delay, the original button is restored, the
cursor is restored, and this "jaws" button hides. Once they
demonstrate a skill, fourth graders love to see how long they can
evade the shark.
The converted stack (HC --> RR) DOES have the icons. When those
buttons are copied to a stack created in RR, they appear. Once that
original stack is removed from memory, the icons are no longer
available. Is there an easy way to access these icons? I did get a
png file of the stack library which I suppose I can cut up to make
individual image files? Finding a machine running ResEdit will take
longer than carving up the png file. In any event, I'd like to learn
more about this.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Dave B.
