The selection on the scrollList, I think, is a list. So passing its value
directly to the cmds.image() would be wrong since it wants only a single string.
If what you are trying now gives you a specific problem, let us know so we can
look at that actual code for that one area.
Once quick suggestion is that you might want to just pass the callable object
directly to your buttons instead of using strings that have to be evaluated.
cmds.button(label='Open File',c=oFile)
cmds.button(label='Import File',c=impFile)
cmds.button(label='Reference File',c=refFile)
cmds.button(label='Open Directory',c=openBrowser)
Of course, this code would have to also be in a function (like a main() or
something) so that it executes after all the function definitions have been
created. You shouldn't have loose code like that running in the global scope.
It prevents your script from ever being able to be imported by another tool to
reuse functionality.
def main():
# do stuff
and then in some other code:
import myScript
myScript.main()
