Rename an Icon?

Perhaps both you and others

Quite possibly.

But it "weren't" me that started making 'funny OT noises' anent s/he.

Now: at the risk of spoiling some people's fun, an on-topic comment:

and a very boring one at that . . . lots of words going down; so I thought I'd do something "babyish" instead:

1. Set up a stack and imported an image into it, and found that the ID assigned to that image was 1003:
-

-
2. Imported a second image, and found that the ID assigned to that image was 1004:
-

-
All incredibly pedestrian, as expected, and "babyish".

Now let's see if I can muck 'things' up.

Set up a button big enough to accommodate my first image (ID 1003) as an icon:
-

-
And that seems all as it should be (ID is still 1003):
-

I made a second CARD in my stack, with a new BUTTON, and assigned the same image as in the button on the first card to it:
-

-
No obvious problems there (image ID still 1003).

So, I thought I would try this in a button:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the icon of btn "Another Button" to image ID 1004
end mouseUp

And the button went BLANK!

So I tried this:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the icon of btn "Another Button" to image ID 1004 of card ID 1005
end mouseUp

and the button "threw a bluey".

This:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the icon of btn "Another Button" to the ID of image "figureY.jpg" of card ID 1005
end mouseUp

was also NBG.

This:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the icon of btn "Another Button" to image "figureY.jpg" of card "cFIRST"
end mouseUp

while NOT throwing up a warning, did NOT assign an icon.

This DID:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the icon of btn "Another Button" to the short ID of image "figureY.jpg" of card "cFIRST"
end mouseUp

Which, quite frankly, strikes me as a very clunky way to do things.

WHAT is the difference between a short ID and an ID?

Cripes: sorry I asked:

What IS obvious is that once an image is imported into a stack its ID is immutable.

So, the only way an image could appear to have changed its ID is if it is not the original image at all but a copy of it.

For instance, if I set up a single card stack with a single image:
-

and then CLONE that card:
-

-
We find that the 'same' image on the new card has been assigned a NEW ID:
-

And, of course, the reason the image has been assigned a new ID is because it is NOT the same image as the one on the first card.

Now: anyone wanting to get back to "gender studies"?

Certainly compact, but these days does not cover all bases...

adding "it" to the end of (s)he is likely to cause offence
