Displaying Images in Rev

[Tim Ponn]

Thanks, but it still doesn't work.

I think I failed to describe exactly what it is that I've got here.

I have a stack with a single empty image object, we'll call it "Test1"... and 20 fields.  Further, I have a file that contains both binary jpeg image data and readable text.  Each "record" within the file (about 19,000 records) consists of first the jpeg data and then the readable text.  On startup, I load the entire file into a global.  I click a button, respond to an ask dialog and it locates the record within the global.  The script then extracts the chunks of readable data and fills in the 20 fields appropriately.  Lastly, I am left with the jpeg data which I would like to display in the empty image object, :Test1".

I think I have multiple problems...

1...I must set the rect of the empty image to whatever image I'm trying to put there.  Jacque, you've confirmed this...now I have to find where the image size lurks in the binary data and apply it.
2...I load that file into the global using the "URL" method.  Maybe it's no longer binary and therefore not the correct data type for the image?

If there's an easier way, I could use some help there.  Has anyone got some code bits to share here?

Thanks!
