I was hoping that someone in this newsgroup knows the answer to this 
little problem (or can point me to a reourse or two).

Overview:
Authoware 5 does not recognize my imported graphic file in the wait icon.

Explanation:
When I package my authorware 5.0 piece the executable does not recognize 
the graphic I imported for the wait icon. During run-time the wait icon 
uses its own default graphic.

What I've Done So Far. . .:
*When I'm in the Authorware 5.0 environment and run my project there is 
no problem and the graphic appears. However, when I create the executable 
the graphic no longer appears.

*It occurs whether I've packaged the file as an .exe or without run-time. 

*The problem does not occur when I create the .exe or without run-time 
using Authorware 4.0.

*When I import the same project from 4.0 (where the problem does not 
occur) to 5.0 the error occurs.

*The same problem occcurs on a co-workers machine. We're using different 
copies of Authorware so I'm pretty positive it's not the copy of Authorware.

*All other graphics appear properly so I know I'm not missing any xtras.

Questions:
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Does anyone know why it's occuring?
Was the answer in a tech not or a FAQ and I just missed it?

Thanks for any help on this problem.
