Viewing Sprites - Image or Asset?

Sprites - Image or Asset?



User: Roddy 10 years ago
Here's the thing...

I was trying to implement a custom audio player in EasyWeb. The styles reference a sprite with the control images. The sprite sheet is in .png format so, despite the fact that I want the sprite in the same folder as the CSS, EW won't let me.

What are my options?

I can go into the stylesheet and change the image URLs so that they back out of Assets and into Images. The problem is - where is the image?

Then I get cunning and think, "What about .svg? Does EasyWeb know what it is?" I then find a way to convert .png to .svg and drag it into Assets. Surprise - it works. The problem is that, not only do I have to convert my file but also the fact that SVGs perform very badly c/w PNGs and rather defeat the point of using sprites in the first place.

Obviously the whole problem would go away if I could drag folders into Assets but the pain would be lessened if it was possible to get images in there. Perhaps command drag them? Is that possible?

Images will go in the External Files directory if you add them as a hyperlink. You can then remove that hyperlink.

Oh, OK I'll try that way.
