High-Lighting an Image Object

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

Unfortunately :-( you can't set directly the borderColor of an image:
'set the borderColor of img 1 to red' don't lead to an error but has  
no effect.
The borderColor of an image is inherited from the group that owns the  
image, the card or the stack.
If you set the borderColor of the card/stack to any color, the  
borderColor of any image on this card/stack will be this color.
In this case, the dimensions of the image will not change and the  
border will mask an outlying part of the image.
If you set the borderColor of a group that owns one image, setting  
the showBorder of the group to true but the the showBorder of the  
image to false, you will be able to fix the borderWith and the  
margins (in the text formatting pane) of the group in order to fix  
where the border appears with great precision without outlying any  
part of the image (assuming that the width/height of the group are  
the formattedWidth/height of the group).
Finally, don't forget that the ThreeD of any object has to be set to  
false in order to show a coloured border.

Hope this helps.
