Hi Curt,

When I build a standalone on Mac (haven't tried Windows yet), the images are gone, replaced by grey boxes; the buttons function normally otherwise. I used Import as Control to put them onto a card that's just storage for graphics. They're still showing normally on that card in development, but when I go to that card in the standalone, there is nothing but the grey boxes.

It's hard to say without seeing the stack, but it sounds like what happens when you use some of the included standard images included in the LiveCode IDE. If so, you have to make sure the image is imported, not referenced. But since you said you imported them, I'm not sure why they would disappear in the standalone.

Also make sure that the ID numbers of your imported images do not conflict with ID's of the standard images. That can cause odd anomalies when viewing your stack images in the Image Library.
