Question:
When creating an AIF file, in what order should I add the images to the .mbm file?

Answer:
The order of files in the .mbm file, or in the .lst file, is important. It should be smallest to largest, in icon and mask pairs. So (using the Boss example) you might have a file "bossmbm.lst" with the contents:

boss.mbm
boss16i.bmp
boss16m.bmp
boss24i.bmp
boss24m.bmp
boss32i.bmp
boss32m.bmp
boss48i.bmp
boss48m.bmp
The first line is the name of the .mbm file to be generated. This file will be created by running

bmconv bossmbm.lst

from the command line.
