Hi Jim, thanks, I should have mentioned the image object's size is set using the same numbers with which I make the image request.
In this case I ask for a 200x400 image and set the size of my object to those dimensions before attempting to actually display the image. As I mentioned to Devin, I have no problem using another of their API calls that returns a jpeg, it seems to only be an issue with the data of a gif image in particular. > I think when setting the text of an image you need to make sure the > dimensions of the image are identical to the dimensions specified by the text > data you are about to set. > Devin's advice to simply set the filename will automatically scale the image > correctly. > Then if you want to no longer be dependent on an internet connection to > subsequently display that image, you can put that text data into the same > image and set the filename to empty. > Although usually I use an invisible dummy image to retrieve the remote image, > then transfer that textdata to another permanent image. > > JimL _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
