Image files being replaced by image file icons?
Hi. This is one of those questions for which theres probably an easy answer....however hav'nt been able to figure it out. I've been testing out Mohos features by making several short easy projects using image files. I "save" these as a moho file to my desktop. Everything is fine up to this point.....however the next time I try to open the file.....about 50% of the projects open up fine but when I open the other projects...rather than seeing the images that I've imported into moho...I see image icons (as you might see an image file icon sitting on your desktop). If I've created a character made up of bodyparts composed of 6 image files......now rather than seeing heads, arms etc......I see a character composed of image file icons making it impossible to continue working on the project. Would appreciate if anyone can tell me why this is happening and how to stop it. Thanks.

Yep, an easy answer the solution is..
If you'll look well, you'll see a lil rap in the icon, right?
If u do, that means the source image file is removed or moved to anothe directory.
All you need is to recover the source image file, and make sure it's in teh same directory and the file name is tha same.

Moho stores a relative path to image files, so if you move the Moho file to another path, but leave the image files where they are, Moho can't find the images.
The advantage of this setup is that you can move both the Moho and image files into another location, provided that the paths of the image files relative to the Moho file remains the same.
This is how things are organized locally, on your own computer (and perhaps also in a LAN, but I haven't got a LAN so I couldn't test this).
If you store the images on a remote server, which is connected through your network, you can put the Moho file on your local harddrive where ever you want (I've tested this through a WebDAV connection with my ISP).
