image library

[edward cawley]

I'll try to make it clearer what I'm trying to do. I have some HyperCard stacks which have a number of cards with graphics on them.  I opened them in LiveCode with no problem. The graphic images were converted with no problem and are in the "image library" (accessed through the development menu item)of the converted stack. The script of the converted stack needs a lot of modification so I started a new stack and have scripted several cards to serve as templates. I would like to transfer the "image library" of the old (Hyper Card) stack to the new LiveCode stack so I can reference the images into the cards of the new stack, instead of moving the images from the old stack card by card. They have already been converted from the HyperCard resource fork. I other words I would like to import the old "image library" into the new stack, but where do I find the "image library" in the converted HyperCard stack or how do I export the old "image library" into the new stack from the old converted stack.
I hope that is a little clearer.
