Hi Phil, The trick is to use an image, set the icon of the button to the id of said image, and then change the filename of the image; your button will automagically be repainted when you change the filename of the image control.
As a quick test, I created a stack with a button and an image; I named the image control "MyButtonIcon"; and then I set the script of the button to: ## on mouseUp answer file "Select an image for my icon" if it is empty then exit mouseUp set the fileName of image "MyButtonIcon" to it if the icon of me is 0 then set the icon of me to "MyButtonIcon" end mouseUp ## When I click the button, I can go find an image file and the button gets it as a shiny new icon :-) HTH, Jan.

However, you can make an image object act pretty much like a button, responding to mouse clicks and such.
