yes, you have two options:
1. reference the image, just set the filename...
2. copy that image into your stack

on mouseUp
    answer file "Please select an Image"
    put it into field "FilePathName"
    ##1.
    set the filename of img "Image1" to it

    ##OR
    ##2.
    ## put url("binfile:" & it) into img "Image1"
end mouseUp

Hope that helps.
