reflection change on the chrome color

When i use chrome color on a object and i look closely at it, you can see the picture of a black car or something....Is it possible to change what you see in the reflection??? By example put a reflection of the rest of the object or a .BMP image??? I'm studying inventor and my teacher don't know if it's possible so if you can help it would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if the file name is the same in version 7, but in version 8, it's called car3.bmp Look in the Textures sub-directory.

You need to create a spherical image. The current image is the reflection of a car on a mirrored ball. If you buy a gazing ball yard ornament, you can take pictures of reflections. I don't believe there is a way to specify a different bitmap in Inventor short of hacking the registry or saving a new file with the car3.bmp name.
