Embedding Bitmaps in compiled macro's

I am trying to figure out how to embed bitmaps/graphics files into a compiled macro. If someone has some documentation on how to do this, I would appreciate that.

Thanks.

Tools, Import Bitmap Data maybe?

I have tried that already, and it embeds the bitmap as ascii characters in my script tied to an identifier called [bitmap file name]_DATA:.

My question, is how do you tie this text/picture/graphic file to a button or a picture on a dialog box? Do I have to somehow write this ascii text back to the local drive at runtime (Export Text to Bitmap??), or do I access it by setting it to a variable, and calling it as %bitmap_DATA%.

Thanks.

I believe the answer is to be found in this thread.

So, this means the first code below works
WaitScreenImage>D:\testone.bmp,0.7,CCOEFF

but not this code below? Correct?

WaitScreenImage>TESTONE.BMP_DATA,0.7,CCOEFF
