Observations Re: Images

Hi Jeanne,

I created an empty stack, started using revimagelibrary.rev, and 
created a button referencing an image in the library.  The image 
appears in the new stack as expected; however it does not disappear 
when I stop using the image library, and it is still present if I 
stop Revolution and restart my new stack without using the image 
library.  From this I conclude the image is transferred to the stack 
from the library. I would be happy if this is not the case, but have 
no other explanation for this behavior.

If I open the image library window and select the pop up after 
"Library", the last choice is the current stack.  This is what I am 
referring to as the stack's image library.  All I did was import an 
image as control, create a group containing only the image, and set 
the background property of the group.  Now select New Card from the 
Objects menu and then open the image library for the stack--wallah: 
two copies of the image appear.  Create another card, and you'll see 
three entries in the image library.  Delete one of the cards, and 
you'll see one less entry in the image library.  As above, perhaps 
there is some other explanation as to what is happening, but I can't 
see it.
