Hi Marco and Chris..

Long time since I was back online I know, but many many thanks for
your responses, it is all working with your suggestions now :).  I
still did the cfdump to try to see why my code didn’t work...

When I couldn’t get the skin:view code to work, previously I tried:

<cfoutput>
<img src="#application.url.webroot#/images/dmImage/
#stObj.sourceImage#" width="#stObj.width#" height="#stobj.height#"
alt="#stobj.alt#" title="#stobj.alt#" />
</cfoutput>

I did a dump of this the image was where I though it should be, ie
“SOURCEIMAGE     /images/dmImage/SourceImage/midstateSide3.jpg”

Then after reading your posts I changed my code to

<cfoutput>
<img src="#application.url.imageroot##stobj.sourceImage#"
width="#stObj.width#" height="#stobj.height#" alt="#stobj.alt#"
title="#stobj.alt#" />
</cfoutput>

the image displayed perfectly, it worked... the dumps however are
identical, but because I used the path of the images and didn’t use
“imageroot” in my first code sample it didn’t work.

On another note, I still can’t understand why this code doesn’t work:

<skin:view objectid="#stobj.SourceImage#" typename="dmImage"
template="displaySourceImage" />

I get the error “The OBJECTID argument passed to the getData function
is not of the type uuid. If the component name is specified as a type
of this argument, its possible that a definition file for the
component cannot be found or is not accessible.”

That is, there is a file in farcry/core/dmImage/
displaySourceImage.cfm, and if you have your displayTeaser.cfm
template in your own  farcry/projects/sitename/dmImage directory
shouldn’t this work?..  I am curious what I am missing here.. so if
anyone stumbles upon it when doing something be sure to post. In the
mean time mine is working without using the skin:view.. code with your
help Marco and Chris so again many thanks, Helen.
