Thanks Colin (and Kerry and Carl for their personal replies) :)
Since I posted the question I decided not to go the path of imaging lingo
for this project (using James Newton's dropdown menu behavior instead), but
I do want to get the concept right for future reference. I tried changing
the height, by making a new image object, rather then duplicating an
existing one, plus some other changes:
on buildMenu me
-- savedImage = member("placeHolder").image.duplicate()
menuImage = member("menu item").image.duplicate()
theRect = menuImage.rect
tempImage =image(theRect.width, theRect.height * 5, 32)
tempRect = menuImage.rect
repeat with i = 1 to 5
tempRect = tempRect.offset (0, tempImage.rect.height)
put tempRect
tempImage.copyPixels(menuImage, tempRect, theRect)
end repeat
member("placeHolder").image = tempImage
end
Now I'm getting an image of the correct size, except... for some reason it's
all white ?
PS: "menu item" is a black rectangle, "placeHolder" is a single pixel cast
member. And I get the same result using a different cast member for "menu
item", such as a simple red rectanlge drawn in the paint window.
Thanks for all your help,
Karina
