Drag images into text field

[Mike Markkula]

This script works for me...

TheAllowableFileTypes global is just a list of the file types Rev handles
and is set in an openStack handler when the app is launched. The
³importImage² function imports the image, scales it to a size set in the
app¹s preferences, adds it to an images library stack, and returns the image
id number if successful.

-- This script handles dragging files from the finder to a field
-----------------------
on dragDrop
   global charNbrDroppedOn, theAllowableImageFileTypes,
theImagePlaceHolderChar
   put word 4 of the dropChunk into charNbrDroppedOn
   put the dragData["files"] into theFilePaths
   if the last char of theFilePaths is return then delete the last char of
theFilePaths
   set the itemDelimiter to "."
   repeat with k = 1 to the number of lines of theFilePaths
      set the cursor to busy
      put line k of theFilePaths into theFilePath
      if the last item of theFilePath is among the items of
theAllowableImageFileTypes then
         put importImage(theFilePath) into theImageID
         if theImageID is not empty then
            put charNbrDroppedOn - 1 + k into placeHolderChrNbr
            put theImagePlaceHolderChar after char placeHolderChrNbr of me
            put charNbrDroppedOn + k into targetChar
            set the imageSource of char targetChar of me to theImageID
         end if
      else -- process dropping the filepath
         put theFilePath & space after char charNbrDroppedOn of me
      end if
   end repeat
end dragDrop
