Hi Nitin, I can think of the following possible reasons why my script is not working for you.
1) In the line mypath = "(the path to the directory that contains your images)" did you replace "(the path to the directory that contains your images)" with the actual path where Director can find your images? If you are not sure and for testing create a directory on harddisk c: and name it "IMG", put your images in and then replace the line above with myPath = "c:\IMG\" Later you would want to replace this line by a command that let's the user chose from which directory the images are to be imported. 2) to make this script work you have to call it. Let's say you want the script to execute right at the beginning of your movie, you should write on startMovie importPicts end If you have already an on startMovie handler in your movie, put it in there! If you want it to execute when a button is pressed, you could attach a script to your button reading: on mouseUp me importPicts end I wouldn't do that in your case, as each time you pressed the button, you would re-import all picts and create new cast members, ... so don't do it. If you want to refresh the contents of your new cast members, it's possble as well, but more complicated. 3) Maybe it's not working because the email (my posting) has wrapped some lines, so that you now have 2 lines where it should all be in one line. In this case however I would expect a Lingo error message - did you get one? 4) Are you sure your images are of the right file type (.jpg or .tif for instance?) Howdy was right in pointing out that one could check that too! nextFileName.char[nextFileName.length - 3 .. nextFileName.length] gives you the file extension! 5) finally, to check why it's not working, set a breakpoint and use the debugger to step through the script. For instance if you set the breakpoint at the line "nextFileName = "... and step on you can check if nextFileName is a file name of one of your picts. It not, check "myPath". Is it really the path your images are in? Don't hesitate to ask again, if you don't succeed ...
