drag and drop image import?

[Chipp Walters]

Try this:

Create a blank image object on your stack. Set the lockLoc of it to 
true. Set it's script:

on dragenter
   set the acceptdrop to true
end dragenter

on dragDrop
   get the dragdata
   if it is not empty then
     put it into tFile
     if char -4 to -1 it is ".jpg" then
       set the filename of me to it
     end if	
   end if
end dragDrop

That should get you started :-)

best,

Chipp
