dragDrop an image into a graphic rectangle

2010-06-01 Thread Gabel Paul
Hello everyone:

I need a little help on a script. I can dragDrop an image from the desktop into 
a field (the field containing a script like the one below), but I'd like to 
drag the image into a graphic rectangle, which is not handled automatically. 
The Dictionary says:

To accept drops to a locked field or a control other than a field, handle the 
dragDrop message, using the dragData property to determine what data is being 
dragged. For these objects, your dragDrop handler must get the dragged data and 
put it into the object (or perform whatever action you want to do on a drop); 
the behavior is not automated as it is for unlocked fields.

I underlined the part that's giving me trouble. I'm not sure how to go about 
it. Can anyone give me an example script for that part of the handler?

on dragDrop
   put the dragData[files] into theFilePath
   import paint from file theFilePath
   set the name of the last image to New Image
   -- ?
end dragDrop

Thanks, Paul Gabel
