Images and arrays...

[Phil Davis]

Hi Paul, sorry I'm so late to the party.

I think the best you can do is to capture & then reuse all the 
properties of the target image.

I created a stack and imported an image. Then I ran this button script 
to make an exact replica of image 1. It worked:

    on mouseUp
         put the properties of img 1 into tPropsA -- could be saved for
    later use
         lock screen
         create image
         set the properties of img 2 to tPropsA
         set the left of img 2 to the right of img 1 + 30
         unlock screen
    end mouseUp

Hope this helps -
Phil Davis
