Hi All,
Trying to find some information on the mobilePickPhoto command.
I can issue the command etc, but I cant find much detail on how to deal with the actual image (IE save to a file in the documents directory of the app)
In my App i want to be able to launch this command, select a file from the library and then save it to the documents directory.
If I can achieve the above can i then populate an image area on another card by referencing this file?
Thanks in advanced.

Nakia…
I have attached a stack… you can choose a photo from the library and then it saves it to the documents folder… I have just got the image to be named by the seconds when you made the choice… I'll leave you to sort out how you want to name the files...
The script is in the button "choose photo"
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
lock screen
iphonePickPhoto "library", 160,240
if the result is "Cancel" then exit mouseUp
set the text of image "imageholder" to the text of the last image of this card
export image "imageholder" to URL("binfile:" & specialfolderpath("documents") & "/" & the seconds & ".png") as PNG
delete the last image of this card
end mouseUp
be well
Dixie

Use the following, where image x represents your 'image area'.
Code: Select all
set the filename of image x to specialfolderpath("documents") & slash & nameOfFile

Thanks

What the heck is an "oriented" picture?
But I doubt you can force the user to rotate by 90° degrees, if that is what you mean

Hello,
If i took a picture with the Apple App when my device is in "Portrait", the picture is displayed in Portrait in the album or the computer, but if i took a picture with livecode when the device is in portrait, my picture is in landscape.
