For the life of me, I can't understand. Why does this work (albeit you have
to choose the image file):
on openStack
set the defaultFolder to "/Macintosh
HD/Desktop/MyRev_Stacks/Keyboard_Images/"
answer file empty with filter "JPEGs,*.jpg"
put url ("binfile:" & it) into img 1 of grp 1
end openStack
...the image shows in the background group up as soon as you choose it.
...but this does not work:
on openStack
set the defaultFolder to "/Macintosh
HD/Desktop/MyRev_Stacks/Keyboard_Images/"
put URL "binfile:/KybdUp2.JPG/" into img 1 of grp 1
end openStack
...the watch shows for a split second, then reverts to the browse hand, but
nothing else happens. No image, nothing.
Designating the full filepath:
put URL "binfile:/Macintosh
HD/Desktop/MyRev_Stacks/Keyboard_Images/KybdUp2.JPG/" into img 1 of grp 1
...fails as well.
Why? This is baffling :+/
