Re: loading images files for background

This question may have been asked previously, but it
continues to nag us. We are simply trying to change
the background of our simulation to another .png file
from the customary clouds image. We were successful in
doing this on the pc platform but not on mac which is
our primary platform for this project. here is a
sample of our current code (obviously the pasted
version has screwed up the code alignment). Assuming
the path is correct and the image is located in the
same folder as the simulation, do you see anything
peculiar in the code?
