Graphic takes on look of image below.

[windowsLC]

this one is killing me because I know there is a great demo stack of this out there but cant find it again.

I am placing a regular polygon graphic over an image and I want the polygon to take on the the look of the section of image below it. I cant remember if it was Ink, imagedata or background pattern that was the key do this.

Better version available lower down!

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   if the backGroundPattern of grc "PG" is the id of img "GG" then
      set the backGroundPattern of grc "PG" to the id of img "BB"
      else
         set the backGroundPattern of grc "PG" to the id of img "GG"
         end if
end mouseUp

Maybe you mean "backgroundpattern"?

Code: Select all

...
set the BackGroundPattern of grc "your graphic here..." to 1003
## Or what ID your image may have.
...

The image itself does not need to be visible for this.

I really need to type faster!

Yes! backgroundpattern thanks, that is what I was trying to remember.

I really need to type faster!

I thought typing speeds were capped by the theory of relativity

Sorry, you know how it is, I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you!

Lost control of my own enthusiasm:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   if the backGroundPattern of grc "PG" is the id of img "GG" then
      set the polySides of grc "PG" to 5
      set the backGroundPattern of grc "PG" to the id of img "BB"
   else
      set the polySides of grc "PG" to 7
         set the backGroundPattern of grc "PG" to the id of img "GG"
         end if
end mouseUp
