getting the name of an image ID

Post by scotttyang » Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:37 pm

What is the way to get the NAME of an image using the ID in the Image Library?

if an image ID 2002 has the name "cat.png", I would like to be able to get "cat.png" by referencing ID 2002.

So something like "put the name of id 2002" doesn't work give me "cat.png".

What is a way to get the Name of an image by using the ID of the image?
