Hi.

Hi Ty
Is your file is in document folder of your app ?
If that is the case your may use this

Code: Select all

   put specialfolderpath("documents") into tFolDoc
   put tFolDoc & "/" & "165.jpg" into tFile
   set the filename of img "myImage" to tFile  

Best regards

I was really asking if you, say, used the "open file" command, or something else.

I'm trying to retrieve a picture using the file path/picture name and place it onto a card. That's when I get the error can't open image.
Thank you for your help.

How about checking if the image file is not damaged.

The pictures do not appear to be damaged.

I think what others quite rightly asked is to show the code you used. Otherwise it's not possible to know what went wrong...

[dunbarx]

What Stam said, as I did. How did you try to retrieve that file? In other words what code did you write?

We do need to see the code, but I see a couple of things wrong.

• " bindle" should be "binfile".

• The documents folder should use specialFolderPath("documents")

• Finally, LC can't just open an image automatically, but you can get the raw imageData or you can put the image into an image control.

The last item is why we need to see the script.

Got it, thank you
