Create image in another card

[CenturyMan1979]

Hey All,

Is there a way to create an image in a card that is not the current card? Wanted to create a card that could be used to preload images into it but can't seem to figure out how to do it.

The easiest way is something like this.

Code: Select all

   lock screen -- keeps the changes from showing
   go card "imagesC" -- card where you want the image
   create image "newImage" -- create the image (could be an import or whatever)
   go card "mainC" -- go back to your start card
   unlock screen

Thanks for the idea sturgis but that will not work to well for the way my application is setup. I did end up finding a way to load images into a card that is not the current card.

You need to create a group in the card you want to create the images in, then you can use the following code,

Code: Select all

create image in group "groupName" of card "cardName"

Yep that works too. Glad you found a way that will fit into your app!

Maybe an old post but just for the fun of it..

I solved this issue without using a group with an invisible dummy image ''CopyImage"

Code: Select all

      copy image "CopyImage" of this card to card "Imageholder"
      set the name of image "CopyImage" of  card "Imageholder" to newimagename
