Hi Vaughn, First off "The answer I get is it just takes a long time to learn?" No, but I understand that if you have been a programmer using another language then it is more difficult. Lots of times I just think of a word to describe what I want to do and there it is in the dictionary. This plugin helps things even further; http://bjoernke.com/?target=bvgdocu
Now to the problem at hand. To make things clear when you say "...group background..." you mean a group who's "background behavior is set to true" and in that case if the image control is in that group it will be the same on all pages with that group. Now you could continue doing it the way you have it setup in your openCard script and in the mouseUp, just make sure to; set the filename of image "imageField1" of this card to "" ("" is shorthand for empty) Where I mention it in the above post. Trust me I had your script running with only removing the "then" correcting the spelling and that line. Now I'm not sure what impact on performance of using it when all the images get updated but it probably doesn't matter as I think the things like that are only set when the card opens. If it does then yes, you have to break the image out of the group.
