the object doesnt work with a file in the same folder (png) it was working when it was in a different folder but then when you go to build the application it won't - because it will not find the file!!

it now will not load the image from wherever i put it no matter what i do. the image doesn't have to do anything either.

apart from that when you load an image it stretches it far too wide and i can't seem to get it back. is this the most retarded object max has ever seen? regarding the amazing capabilities of this programme i thought getting an image into a patch would be simple. it is essential to the patch to have it and everything else is working fine.

please could someone help me with why this is behaving like this, quit re-started several times, brought in a new object. just can't get the image to show, even when it did it wouldn't build!

Why not embed the image in the patcher? I use pictures all the time without problems.

not sure how to do that mate to be honest i'm not a massive user. still learning, and it's not on the forums or i haven't found it.

it's now having a paddy about can't find the patcher when i'm trying to build. although it builds anyway but won't read any of the files associated with the patch although i selected the folder with the files too.

everything works perfectly how it should (the patch) just doesn't want to export itself so i can be finished.

do you have any idea? i've been sat here with the last fiddley bits that should be simple for nearly 9 hours, slowly going insane :)

The simple way is to get the picture onto your clipboard, then go to Max and hit Paste Picture from the edit menu. This puts the picture, at its native size into a pictctl, set to embed the image.
