A colleague just mailed me this to ask if I knew why a lot of objects that she put in from the resource library are coming up as red boxes with crosses in them.
The frogs are from google...

Any ideas anyone?

Myrtle,

Those boxes are what I get when I try to drag an image over from a web page that has a link or is a linked image. I ususally use the camera tool to take a picture of it then select to place on the flipchart page.

If it is a result of dragging an image from AP or AS, then the picture associated with the tumbnail might not be at that location anymore...

That's the best that I can do.

Hope it helps.

This is scary stuff Myrtle, especially as I can see those images in Page Selector, and Page Sorter views - sometimes... I can tell which images they are from the Library (Properties..)
I wonder how many times the flipchart has been saved and re-saved during its creation? Not that this is an explanation, but it can be a contributing factor to a file becoming a bit unstable. I often re-save a flp I have been working on for a while by giving the name a suffix to indicate a version number. Once it is finished and working OK, I delete the earlier versions.
I am looking forward to the solution to this one.

Thanks for those replies, as far as I know it's a new flipchart and she'd only saved it once, went to redo something and discovered these boxes....I've had the saving prob before and sorted it by renaming what I've done.

She's got the version from the disc and not any upgraded ActivP but that shouldn't make that happen, I'll quiz her more today.
