Hi,
I have optimised a bunch of images in photoshop and saved them out. All 7 pics make a total of 200k ish. When I import them and make a stack to be targeted by a set of buttons, the images lose their formats and get re-processed by freeway…badly. They now weigh in a 790k and look awful. These images contain text and need to stay lovely and crisp. How can I use pass-through and still stack 'em as targets?
No, you can’t add a link to an HTML box. But you should be able to
draw your images as normal graphic boxes – just be sure you have the
Layer checkbox ticked in the Inspector for each of them. Layered
images don’t merge with one another. You may find it easiest to draw
one image somewhere on your page, then duplicate it with a large
offset so you can see each of your images. Once you have all of them
filled with the correct images, and have made sure that they are all
set as Layers, you can re-align them so they are directly over one
another. A normal graphic box – layered or not – can have a link
applied to it.

The stack is working with the images as bg html items but I can’t

Yep, you did David. But I was using your ‘image as a bg’ method, which worked fine, but I couldn’t get links to work. I didn’t realise you couldn’t have a link on an HTML item. I tried importing images and making them layers but didn’t notice that my actual items were still html! So I posted again. Once I read Walters answer I realised I had to remake the stack from scratch with graphic layered pass-through images, as you pointed out. I just needed reminding.
