Image Tutorial Gaffe?

Post by R7 » Fri Apr 24, 2009 11:34 pm

The image tutorial for beginners is baffling me. (http://www.runrev.com/developers/tutori ... et-images/)

In the introduction I was told to get an empty image and place it on a fresh card, then enter "set the filename of image 1 to http://www.runrev.com/images/logo.jpg" into the message box.

But...

...it doesn't seem to want to plant that particular image on the card. Why?

Ok, never mind.

After doing some tinkering, it looked like what I was missing was " " marks around the link ("http://www.runrev.com/images/logo.jpg").

Hey RunRev Ltd., would you mind making an edit in this particular online tutorial to indicate that in order for the script to run in the message box they need to have quotations surrounding the link part, so that others like myself won't fall into that same error trap?
