Importing Image as a control
I try to import a image on a card with extension “.livecode” under the File menu >Import as Control with Livecode 9.6.1 but the file once located is not highligted so it is not available for import. The same problem under the File menu Image File > New Referenced Control. How come?

Re: Importing Image as a control
A liveCode file is not an image. No suprise that the OS does not include it in the available options. Not sure what the second example means.
An image has extensions such as ".jpg" or ".png".
I am no expert on this sort of thing, but maybe others will chime in...

Hi boermanm,
welcome to the forum!
What Craig said. In the system dialog only images of type GIF, JPG or PNG will be selectable!
"*.livecode" is the suffix of your Livecode documents a.k.a. stacks.
Personal note:
A little "Hello" or something would not have hurt for the very first posting.

that does the same as "import as control" but will create an image object and set its FILENAME to the selected file (= referenced)Not sure what the second example means.

Klaus,
Aha, thanks. I rarely use these fancy multi-media gadgets.

Yep, en ook een beetje Vlaams (and also a little bit Flamish).
