ah, yes, I saw that specialfolderpath() codes have been introduced in LC 1.1
but did no know that the RESOURCES folder came later.

I think in older versions of LC the files got copied in to the same folder as
the runtime,
so if -> specialfolderpath("engines") is already supported by your version of
LC you
could try that one:
...
put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/mypic.jpg" into tTargetFile
put specialfolderpath("engine") & "/mypic.jpg" into tSourceFile
if there is not a file tTargetfile then
put url("binfile:" & tSourceFile) into url("binfile:" & tTargetFile)
end if
...
If not supported, the you need to do it manually:
...
put specialfolderpath("desktop") & "/mypic.jpg" into tTargetFile
## This is the runtime:
put the effective filename of this stack into tSourceFile
set itemdel to "/"
put "mypic.jpg" into item -1 of tSourceFile
if there is not a file tTargetfile then
put url("binfile:" & tSourceFile) into url("binfile:" & tTargetFile)
end if
...
You get the picture...

Which explains your empty dialog! :-)
