Set the icon to (icon of another stack)--YES!

1. Would this work?

         Create a number of invisible thumbnail images [not buttons; 
lock size & position] on the image display
         card of your utility stack.

         Utility stack script:

                 answer file "Please select a stack to see its images..."
                 if the result is "Cancel" then exit to top
                 push card
                 lock screen
                 repeat with x = 1 to the number of images of me
                         hide image x of me
                 end repeat
                 open invisible stack it
                 repeat with x = 1 to the number of images of stack it
                         set the imageData of image x of me to the 
imageData of image x of stack it
                         show image x of me
                 end repeat
                 close stack it
                 pop card
                 set the itemDelimiter to "/"
                 put item -1 of it into field "Image Source" -- if 
you want the image stack name to appear
                 unlock screen

         I presume you have logic to handle the case where there are 
more images in the stack you are opening then
         there are buttons to display them.  Just change it to deal 
with images.

2.  I previously suggested when a thread boils down to two or three 
people, it should be taken off list.  Actually, I was focusing on 
off-topic conversations, and feel that conversations such as this 
between Paul & moi should remain on the list so long as the focus is 
strictly how to use Revolution.  Do others agree or disagree?

Cao!
