You now want to copy it to another project. Since the graphics are ALREADY OPEN in the project you copied from the button graphics *seem* to display fine. Until you quit livecode then open the target project by itself. No graphics!

set the imagesource of char 1 of fld 1 to "binfile:path/on disk/to your/image.jpg"
