Hello,

I have an image on a card. The image source is from a website, i.e.

set the filename of image "my_image" to "http://www.mydomain.com/images/scene.gif"

I also layout a "browse image" and "upload image" buttons on this card. Therefore users can upload a new image (scene.gif) to the website and replace with the old one.

I wish that the image on the card will be changed after the upload is finished. How can I do that? I don't wish to close the card and open it again.

I searched for "update image path" and "refresh image path" but no luck. I also tried to set the filename of image again at the end of the script after the upload but it does not work.

Please help.

Alex

Hi Alex,

This should work:

Code: Select all

put "http://www.mydomain.com/images/scene.gif" into myUrl
unload URL myUrl
lock screen
set the filename of img "My Image" to empty
set the filename of img "My Image" to myUrl
unlock screen

Best,

Mark
