Hi Andreas,

I'm having trouble with the following script when compiled for Mac (x86).

Code: Select all

BackgroundBrush=LoadBrush(NIL, "Background.png")
CreateTexturedBGPic(1,BackgroundBrush,640,480)
DisplayBGPic(1)

Repeat
	WaitEvent
Forever

The following error message is displayed: "Cannot open file Background.png"

The file "Background.png" is located in the same folder as the executable. Should it be placed someplace else? Does this script work for you when compiled for x86 Mac?

Yes, it must be put into the "Resources" folder of the app bundle. I changed the behaviour in 4.5 to adhere to Apple's UI guide lines which say that all accompanying app files must be put into the "Resources" folder.

That worked. Thanks!
