How can i create image selection field?

[SEAL29]

Would be a lot of pictures in the runtime, when I would use the program. How do i link only the image reference during the runtime in stendalone application?

Hi SEAL29,

just like my last exampole script, but without the "import paint" part.
Therefore you need to have an empty image object on your card or create a new image on the fly:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  ## Show the system OPEN dialog:
  answer file "Please select an image file." with type "Images|jpg,jpeg,gif,png|" 

  ## IT contains the path of the selected image file
  put it into tFile

  ## Check if user clicked CANCEL
  if the result = "Cancel" then
    exit mouseup
  end if

  ## 1. In case you already have an image object on your card for the user selected image:
  ## set the filename of img "your image here" to tFile
  
  ## 2. In case you do not have an image object already, we create one:
  ## create image "name of new image here"
  ## set the filename of img "name of new image here" to tFile

   ## Now scale image and set its loc etc...
   ## ...
end mouseup

Best
