Extracting Resources from MacOS X Resource Files

[Dave]

Hi,

I tried the getResource command in revolution, it doesn't seem to  
work with Mac OS X .rsrc files. For instance when I run this script  
from a button:

on mouseUp
   local myFilePathName
   local myResourceData
   local myResult

   put "/Users/Dave/Desktop/iTunesImages/myFile.rsrc" into  
myFilePathName

   put getResources(myFilePathName) into myResourceData
   put the result into myResult

end mouseUp

myResourceData and myResult are both empty, yet when I look at the  
file with ThemePark it show the Icons and Files ok. The myFile.rsrc I  
used here was taken from iTunes in the Resources folder inside the  
App Package.

What I really want is to convert the pngs and icns into JPEG images.

All the Best
Dave
