Scrolling field with Jpeg elements

[André Tremblay]

Hello, 

I wonder how it possible to display a scrolling field with Jpeg? 

The images would come from a list of file's paths to files located on the network?

The user would select an image for further actions.

Is there a way to adapt PictureData() to do that? Or with another XCFN?

This is something we were doing with WindowScript since the beginning of the 90s.

Explanations or suggestions are welcome!

If you look in the Internals Toolbox sample projects folder inside the SuperCard application folder you'll find a number of XFcns (InsertFieldObject, InsertFieldHyperLink, GetSetObjectBaseline, GetSetObjectImage, GetSetObjectName, GetSetObjectProp, GetSetObjectRefCon, FlattenFieldHyperLink, SetObjectPlacement, TestObjectAccessors) that let you insert images into fields and query/tweak their properties.

There's also several example projects, which hopefully should be fairly self-explanatory.

HTH,

Or if you just wanted to know how to do this by hand:

- if you set the allowObjects of a field to true you can simply paste images into it.

- if you also set the field's allowDrop to true and the allowDnD to true, you can drag image files into it too...

Hello Mark,

Thank you very much for the clear informations and direction, it will be most useful shortly, I will temporarily use PictureData() until I finish with other long scripts, but I will definitely go further with your suggestions as they open a vast field of possibilities for my intended goals!
