converting hypercard stack to livecode from mac to pc

Post by patrickj » Mon Feb 14, 2011 3:12 pm

My first time getting to know what this can do or not.
I am not a tech person and computer jargon is beyond me so if you answer me pleeeeeeeaaaaase do it in simple english.
A couple of questions when the file goes from mac to pc -
1 some buttons show the same image as was on the mac, others have a question mark in place of them and others do not show at all
2 error dialogue boxes appear and as I have little knowledge of the scripting on hypercard i cannot see how to fix the activity of the buttons
