Certain graphics don't display in Windows standalone

I am doing a music app with simple graphics. Everything works fine in the development environment (Mac) and in Mac standalones, but on Windows standalones some images show and others don't (see bottom graphic; above is what should show). The notes on the left and right are generated by separate handlers, but I have no idea why in one environment (Windows standalone) one handler works and the other doesn't. There is a single source file for all the notes (a jpg), set with the [set the fileName of image...] command. I've looked and looked at both handlers, including [set the visible of image...] commands, but can't see what's causing the problem. Must be something simple I'm missing, but need some help! Thanks.

Without seeing your code and your source files
I wonder how anyone can help you.

I'm guessing it's a path issue, but without seeing any code that's just a semirandom guess.

This is just a suggestion, but if Richard is right and it is a path issue, you might consider just assigning the graphic to a button icon, making the button have no border, and just copy/move the buttons to the locations you want if the main graphic is note symbols.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking (hoping) there might be some known factor about Windows that would explain the problem, but no luck so far. I'll do more investigating and report back.

There might be, but without seeing any code we're unable to advise on which of the code you're using may relate to a known issue.
