Ok, so I won't even worry 'bout that... and I'll forget this solution.

Oh, well, unfortunately that seems the only way to go then... It seems
I'll work a little bit more on that hack then. But, still, I have a
bitmap%... How can I show it up in the interactions window? Just like
you do with the image!
If you insert an image and define it with name a. If you go to
interactions and check the value of a the image appears. How can I do
that? I've been pocking the source but can't find where this is being
done!
