File path to image on iOS?

[Thomas McGrath III]

John,

Yes that is possible in LC to use the mobilePickPhoto to grab a photo and then save it to an images folder in you apps sandbox and or your apps documents folder. Then you can use those images in your app by using the image path to your images folder. What you can't do is have the iOS camera app save to your app or its folders (except as previously stated by using mobilePickPhoto).

something like this:

set the name of the templateImage to "FooBar" -- the mobilePickPhoto uses the template image so you can set up all attributes here

mobilePickPhoto "front camera", 250, 250 -- call up the camera from within LC

put image "FooBar" into URL ("file:" & specialFolderPath("documents") & "/" &  "Foobar.png") -- this puts the image into a file in your documents folder

delete image "FooBar" -- if needed delete image from stack

LATER:

put image (specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/" & "FooBar.png") into image "AnotherImage" -- This puts the image into another image from the file

And is it possible for the iOS camera command to save the image in a folder within the app and then use those images by saving their path and then setting the filename of image object in app to something like,  defaultFolder/images/imagnename.jpg?
