Import onto card as Livecode control

Post by amanteai » Thu Oct 24, 2013 4:39 am

I'm getting really frustrated.

I'm trying to do the LC Academy Serious (Ebook) and I can't import the images as a new control in section 2. I keep getting the attached error.

I don't know how to reference external files or import them to a substack (importing isn't working) and reference that. I don't even know where to look to flipping find out how to do this. Any suggestions?

Went to file a bug report but there's already an active report with no word of a fix.

Hi.

Are you doing this by script, using the "import" command, or from the "File" menu, "import as Control"? Just to start, can you import, say, a JPEG from the desktop, by using the dialog that pops up when you invoke the command from the menu?

I saw no attached error...
