Rob,
I checked on my WinXP system and it looks like you can do the following:
set the repeatcount of img "clock" to 0
set the currentframe of img "clock" to 17
set the icon of btn "myClockButton" to the id of img "clock"
This works. So you could use a single image with multiple buttons.
You could also 'share' the img with mulitple cards by using it in a
background group.
