My rule about paths on any system...
-1- avoid spaces in path names
-2- avoid dates in file and folder names, such as "hearth jpgs
12/25/09"
An operating system can allow characters because it knows the
difference between literal name characters and the control characters.
-3- When accessing files and folders, do a test before using data to
be sure the path exists, has correct permissions, etc.
such as
if there is a folder "holidayFunPictures/"
if there is a file "holidayFunShots/kids/snowFight.jpg"
Also
put binfile:a.png" into tempVariable
if tempVariable is not empty then
--we have data
If your solution ever gets to the point of including shell commands,
this adds another level testing to be sure of valid data processing. A
standalone should always assume the users computer could have changes
that prohibit access, such as user account changes and authorizations,
operating system reinstalls, etc.
Hope this helps

Based on your test it looks like the comment about "vanilla
characters" is
probably correct. It works when using a string with no spaces for the
directory. When you setup your string you used put "C:\Documents
and
Settings\zhangt\Desktop\imgFolder" into k
For the real directory you wish to use change it to this.
put quote & "C:\Documents and Settings\zhangt\Desktop\directory with
spaces\ another with spaces" & quote into k
The following script works in a standalone created on Windows XP and
running on Windows XP.
on mouseUp
put "~" after fld "aFld"
put "C:\Documents and Settings\zhangt\Desktop\imgFolder" into k
set the defaultFolder to k
set the imageSource of last char of fld "aFld" to "binfile:a.png"
end mouseUp
Perhaps something gets undone when the script travels through the
wormhole
from the Mac universe to the Windows universe. Does Dr. Who
