Hi,

For debugging, it might be useful to add the following before setting the filename:

if there is no file myFilename then
  beep
  answer error "Can't find file" && myFilename
else
  set the filename of img 1 to myFilename
end if

if this still doesn't give you a clue of what's wrong, you might want to post your own script here. Of course, you'll need to make sure that there is an image control on the card where you want to display the image and if the image isn't on the current card, you have to refer to that card:

Code: Select all

  set the filename of img 1 of cd "Some Card" to myfilename

Note that if you want to display one image on many cards, you can create a button, group the button and set its icon to the id of your image control.

Kind regards,

Mark
