I just realized this, when reading through the "Images and Multimedia" lesson from http://www.hyperactivesw.com/revscriptc ... ences.html, as recommended by Klaus. Thanks for the confirmation of what I've just been reading :D !

There is a script equivalent of import as control, as in my earlier post (#3 in this thread)

Code: Select all

import paint from file <theImageFilePath>
which creates the image object and returns the long id in the it variable, so you can then set the new image's name.

You don't have to! It's just that it was mentioned as an alternative image creation method, and the necessity for pre-existence of an image object was discussed. We're just trying to show you some features and expand your knowledge.
