i started my tests with a jpg and had two images the same size. one called "try" and the other called "returnit"
i setup two buttons. the first did this
Code: Select all
global myvar
on mouseUp
answer file "Get your image"
set the filename of img "try" to it
put "image! "& the imageData of img "try" into myvar
end mouseUp
the second did this
Code: Select all
global myvar
on mouseUp
if the first word of myvar is "image!" then
delete the first word of myvar
set the imageData of img "returnit" to myvar
end if
end mouseUp
it worked great with the jpg. but then i tried with a png. it seems that its the alpha info thats getting messed up

ok never mind. i jumped the gun and just a little more research revealed "alphadata" strange that its separate.

Do you want to send the uncompressed image data, or the compressed complete file contents?

uncompressed. i didnt want to send the file, just the image data so that one image matches another on the other end within the program

if i did want a software to send a png file thats on my hard drive to another software on the other end of a socket to be saved to a location on that systems drive, how would i do that?

HI Da_Elf (Legolas?
)
maybe you mean something like:
Code: Select all
global myvar
on mouseUp
answer file "Get your image"
put url("binfile:" & it) into myvar
end mouseUp
Then put the content of "myvar" into another BINFILE on the target machine.
