MetaCard's syntax is arguably more self-consistent with the priciples of HyperTalk on this one. Rather than relying on an external MC has native image objects, with properties that can be querried and set like buttons and fields. In this case, the property you're looking for is the fileName of the image object: set the filename of image 1 to tMyPath get the rect of image 1 If you don't already have an image object on the card, you can also import image files into a new image object using the import command. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation Custom Software and Web Development for All Major Platforms Developer of WebMerge 1.9: Publish any Database on Any Site ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
