Use a button instead of an image. Import the images to your stack but
make them invisible - I recommend either jpg, gif or png. Set the icon
and the armedIcon of the button to the IDs of the two different images
and it should happen automagically. Just make sure the autoArm of the
button is set to true.

Once you have it working, you can change the appearance of the button
so it doesn't look like a button, but just looks like the image and
nothing else.

HTH,
