AW: How do you maintain image source reference on multiple platforms?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Once you make it right, it's so easy. Without a starting slash the relative
path works fine, like you said it: "resources/myImage.png"
Sometime you don't see the obvious...
Thanks Jacque

If you are setting the path in the property inspector, I think there's an
extra slash at the beginning of the path. Try "resources/myImage.png". I
believe there's an option in preferences to automatically use relative paths
when you select a file in the inspector but I'm not on my computer right now
to check.
