Global Images with FMS

I have something where I can only use a global graphic for a navigational purpose. Everytime I restart FMP the graphic is lost. I understand that you obtain new globals after each session. How do I set a simple graphic as a global graphic when someone starts a new session?

If the image will be standardized for all users such as icons, navagations, logo etc then the global container field must be populated in the Original hosting file.

If you want a logo to load up for each individual user/session, then you can run a SetField script that loads the image from a User Prefs table etc.

It would be the same graphic for all users. I don't understand what this means.

"global container field must be populated in the Original hosting file"

Does that mean you need to put in the image into a global field on the original file rather than opening it up in the server?

Yes.

Shutdown server, then make your changes to the hosted original files. Then start server back up.

That worked perfectly. Thanks!
