icons

Postby cristina » Sat Aug 16, 2008 12:02 pm

I can't import ico files from external programs into a hotspot. I've tryed whith Microangelo and I get this message: "unable to update hotspot appearance, invalid picture". I'm using the free version of AM (and the free tryal version from Microangelo): could this be the reason? :?:

I don't think you can put icons in a hotspot.

Yes, you can put icons in a hotspot. I do it. I got that message too. Sometimes an icon is a png file and wont work. Sometimes it says icon but is too big.

Check it to make sure its .ico and make sure its small enough.

I was getting this error also, im assuming these were the problems that I mentioned above.

Hi there, :)..you can use icons for inventory, and choose to display them anywhere in your project. The reason you are probably getting this message, is because you have to have the icon in the Hotspot Graphics folder. AM doesn't support PNG files..to my knowledge..

I don't think you can put icons in a hotspot.


I think you are thinking cursors..:P

Peace

Open the graphic file with MS Paint.
Select Save As-> 24-bit bitmap (*.bmp)

import that picture.
Done!
