You need to use "binary write" here, I think...

Also, wouldn't it be easier to do:

on mouseUp
  ask file "Select an Image File"
  put it into tempVar
  if tempVar <> "" then
    put url ("binfile:" & tempVar) into imageVar
    -- then the test
    put imagevar into url ("binfile:tempImageFile")
    set the fileName of image "image1" to "tempImageFile"
  end if
end mouseUp
