Storing Images for use by Custom Controls

[BNig]

Simon,

try to add "of me" like below

 repeat with x=1 to the number of images of me 
      put the ID of image x of me into tID 
      put the short name of image x of me into tName 
      put tID into ImageA[tName] 
   end repeat 

Kind regards

Bernd
