Ah, my bad!
I always place all my script at the same level, normally the stack level. Then
declaring the local variabel at the start of the script make them accessible to
all handlers. You can solve this either by declaring the variabel global in all
script where you will use it, or place the scripts that will use it at the same
level.

No joy.
What happens then is that, on looking in the properties palette for an image
("p11")
having had
setthefileNameofimg "p11" tosFolderPath & "c11.png"
in the openCard script
I see that its source is listed as sFolderPathc11.png

What I do in these situations is to use the path stored in the variable
sFolderPath like this
set fileName of image “whateverImage” to sFolderPath & “imageName”
or
put sFolderPath & “imageName” into tFilePath
set fileName of image “whateverImage” to tFilePath

In theory that should work . . .
But what happens is that I end with a grey square rather than the actual
picture.

Try this:
local sFolderPath
on preOpenStack
put specialFolderPath("resources")&"/myCrap/rez/" into sFolderPath
end preOpenStack
specialFolderPath(“resources”) will point to the folder containing the stack
when you are in the IDE, and to the resources folder of your compiled
application

I have this script in the stack:
onpreOpenStack
setitemDelto"/"
setthedefaultFoldertoitem 1 to-2 of(theeffectivefileNameofthis stack)
endpreOpenStack
but it ain't working.

Probably both . . .
So, there I am opening an on-going project I have been "somewhat remiss" about
of late
what with one thing and another.
Now this project has a ton of images made via the Object/New Control/Image menu
and for their image data in their property panels are referred to a folder called
"rez"
that resides in the same folder as my stack.
Now when I set up the stack the source field in the property panels went
something
like this:
/Users/richmondmathewson/Desktop/myCrap/rez/c7.png
and "everything worked perfectly" . . .
on reopening the stack the image data does not show up
and the source fields contain this sort of thing:
rez/c7.png
now this "just won't do" as the . . . well, never mind; probably that is too
filthy a joke for the Use-List.
So . . . presumably, I need a sort of 'set the default file path' script in my
openScript thang?
