Try this: (code this into a button)
on mouseUp
answer file "Which file do you want to use?"
put it into x
set the filename of image "backgfile" to x
put x into fld "graphicLink"
end mouseUp
This will tell you whether you have set up your link correctly. My guess is
that you have a space or something missing. In any event, you should be able
to solve your problem this way.
