Some things about icons here... (came from HC myself so...)

In MC, icons are nothing more than ordinary image objects. If you want to
make your icons, you need to import the desired image (as gif or jpeg),
remember its ID, place it offscreen or hide it. Then take a button object,
and set it's icon to the ID, remember?

In HC, icons are stored as ICN# resources, and wont be used when a HC stack
is imported into MC.

The solution? Try to extract the resources from your HC stack, and import
them in your MC stack. (Maybe this can be done with GraphicConverter).
