Import Referenced control??

[MFitz53 at cs.com]

I'm making a little slideshow app to put on a cd with a collection of photos. 
Before I can go any further with this, I have a little problem that I need to 
deal with. Just to see if I could get the pictures to show up, I scripted the 
field containg all of the titles as follows.


on mouseUp
  put the value of the clickLine into photoToShow
put the cphotoFolderPath of this stack into folderPath--(set in answer folder 
btn script)
import paint from file folderPath& "/"&photoToShow 
wait 10 seconds
hide image photoToShow
send "choose browse tool "to me in 5 ticks
end mouseup

At the time I did not realize that this is the same as "Import as Control" 
from the file menu, so I very quickly slowed my stack to a crawl from 
accumulating a few rather large image files.

 Is there a way to do this by scripting in a referenced control?

thanks,
mike
