Best way to swap background images?

2 possible solutions:

1. assumed you work with references to the images.
Then you can simply set the filename of ath image to another file

2. you imported these 2 images (read: you have a copy of them in your 
stack).
Then you can just do this:

...
put image "bg image 1" into img "bg image to display" of bg "your bg 
name here"
...
resp.
...
put image "bg image 2" into img "bg image to display" of bg "your bg 
name here"
...

YOU can decide when to swap :-)

on openstack, opencard or whenever


Important: you need a 3rd image to display the other 2 images.
If not then 1 image will be lost/replaced with the other one ;-)


Hope that helps.
