This seems to be a common problem as I've seen in other posts, so I believe there is some bug that needs to be addressed. I started off using revMedia and somehow resolved this problem. I'm now using Studio and can't seem to resolve it. Here is the situation:

I have a png image in my image library (I can see it, place it on a card, etc). The stack works great in the IDE. When I create the standalone the image is a grey box. What is the solution?

the solution is to not use the image library.

Images are either stored on the hard disk, or in a stack. If the image is stored in some stack of the ide, and you build a standalone, then the image is not available to the standalone. if you do not want to deal with filepath issues, i suggest to always choose the following menu item in the stack you want to use an image:

file -> import as control -> image file


the reason lost images crop up all the time is because it's a bit tricky to understand all the filepath and inheritage rules of rev image referencing. the image library is just not easy to understand when unsure about those concepts, and i never use it just because of that.

Hi,

Here's a thread which might help. It's a bit long but it'll certainly clarify things for you I think.
