Re: imageSource Stored in Destination Stack
Kathy Jaqua wrote: Thanks Jacqueline, I have a field with about 350 ImageSources. I use the following format: set the clipboardData["image"] to image gImage -- (this is the image the user picked) but on a Paste into the new stack I lose the image name. That doesn't matter, because the imagesource references by ID. If I get the selection of an imageSource from the field and go to a new stack should I: 1. paste the original image and then hide it? Is it the same image as the imageSource since I have lost the image name on the paste. You could do it that way, but the ID will change. The name doesn't matter, but you'll need to get the ID of the last image after the paste happens. Then use that number of build a new imagesource tag in the field. 2. then paste (at the mouse click) the Imagesource into the new field? Yes, but it won't work until you change the ID that the imagesource is using. It might be easier to just build a new imagesource tag using the correct ID number and insert that into the htmltext before setting the field to use the new text. What is the difference between 'copy img' and 'clipboardData["image"]'? The "copy to " command bypasses the clipboard entirely and duplicates the image directly to the new location. Current clipboard contents are not disturbed. Setting the clipboardData does alter the clipboard contents and requires you to paste the content in order to get the image duplicated to the new location. You can use either method. One advantage to the "copy to location" command is that if the image that you are copying is already invisible, it will remain invisible after it is duplicated, so the user won't see the image flashing on and off as they would if you paste/hide it. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Kathy Jaqua wrote: Hi Jim Good Idea but it is not what I need. I actually need the original copied then pasted imageSource saved in the image library at the time it is pasted. (It must be a picture of the imageSource). I don't want an image tag or a reference. (OK.., maybe I don't fully understand image tags :-) What Jim means is that the imagesource in the field isn't really the image itself, it is just a tag -- a description -- of the image's location. This is exactly how icons in buttons work too; a button doesn't contain an image, it just references one that is stored in the stack. Copying the field's htmltext to another field will move the tag along with the text to the new field, but the image that is stored in the original stack doesn't automatically move to the new stack. You will have to script the duplication of the image if the new stack doesn't already contain it. The script that copies the field text must also do something like this: copy img "myImg" of this cd of stack "originalStack" to this card Then set the htmltext of the field, and the imagesource will have an image available to use. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I think that if you look at the field 'image' it is actually an tag. --In the message box type put the htmltext of field myField -- to see the behind-the-scenes stuff (I know, techie speak) The tag requires a reference and this may be what you need to update somehow, or make a copy of the image that can be referenced. Hope this helps. Jim Ault Las Vegas On 1/4/06 7:41 PM, "Kathy Jaqua" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a group of imageSources in a field. I can put > the clicked on image on the clipboard.
