Hi David,
this will work in the IDE and in a standalone, if you added the folder "images" via the "Copy fikles" tab in the standalone builder settings:
Code: Select all
on mouseup
## Reference image:
set the filename of img 1 to (specialfolderpath("resources") & "/images/crow.jpg")
## Or directly import the image, was not sure what you were after:
put url("binfile:" & specialfolderpath("resources") & "/images/crow.jpg") into img 1
end mouseup
In the IDE specialfolderpath("resources") points to the folder the current stack is in.
Best
Klaus

Hi Klaus,
Thanks. So basically it won't load from a folder while in Livecode but will load when it is compiled is that correct?
Regards
Bidge

So what part of "

Oh thanks Andy. I wasn't following what you were suggesting but now I can see now how well the script works.
Klaus, yes I can see that your way is the easiest way to do it with my basic understanding and I appreciate the advice
It's a bit hard to work blind that way though.
Thanks again
Bidge

Hi.
I have another question please.
Is it possible to have an answer dialogue appear with a different color background?
I have set a dark color to one of my cards and it seems to be locked into the answer dialogue box as the default background color.
Code: Select all
answer info "This will erase your current image. Continue?" with "Yes" or "No"
Thanks again
Bidge

I didn't "find" that: I just did a bit of
thinking AND
looked in the stack list, and found "
Answer Dialog" . . . . boom, boom

Hi David,
remember that LC is made with LC, so everything in the IDE is a stack resp. scripted and can be modified!

Also remember that the worst thing that can possibly happen if you edit the ide is that you might have to reinstall it
so don't be afraid to poke around, it can't possibly bring about the end of the universe
*Edit - disclaimer: this doesn't mean that a possibly worse situation could arise, like modifying code and having it appear to work but introducing a logic flaw that slowly degrades reliability over time, for example.

16 times I've endured the end of the universe. Never a single occasion that LiveCode IDE has been the cause.
