Retaining image size after being resized

[Pebah]

I'm scripting the resizing of an image by setting the image width and height.

I use the create command to make an image control, give the image a URL, set the resizeQuality parameter, set the height and width, and it looks perfect on the card. However, when I go to another card and then come back the image is back at it's original size (very large).

Is there something I'm missing that's not saving the new size? Is it possible?

lock the image after you have finished altering its height and width to your wishes...

Code: Select all

 set the lockLocation of image x to true

be well,

That works, thanks!

Now, is the image part of the stack now, or is it just reading it off of the disk again. The latter seems true. I want it to be the former. I'm making a stack that is a collection of images for other uses elsewhere in the project.

Pebah..

Look at 'import' command in the dictionary...it allows you to create an image, amongst other things, and copy the contents of the file into the object.

Thanks for that.

I'm reading now that I really shouldn't be importing the images to minimize memory use.

Is there a way to save the resized images back to disk? The save command seems to only refer to saving the stack.

Pebah...

Now you are making me smile... Have a look at the 'Export' command in the dictionary. You will be able to then put the file wherever you want to...

Pehab...

Attached a stack... the folder contains the stack and an image file, click the import button and then the export button... the exported file will be saved to the folder... look at the stack script as well as the button scripts...

hope it helps...
