I think someone did this already. They built a geometry manager (which is what
Livecode calls what you want to do).

Importing images and/or using imageSource will make a very big stack!
It is often better to set the fileName of an image to an externally stored
jpg, gif or png...
eg: set the filename of image 1 to "bird1.jpg"
If you have a lot of images, you could keep them in a folder then use a
relative pat
Well, it takes code to flip images with buttons, and the scrolling field
needs none. But if you want to write some code anyway, you can also script
the field to randomize the order of the images.
As for cutting them off, that is true... You will get partial images at the
top and bottom while scrol

As a side note, I designed the UI XML system used for Oblivion and Fallout 3
(I don't know if Bethesda is still using it for Skyrim), and it used an

If you want to stick with what you are familiar with, just to get the
project done, try looking up "imageSource" in the dictionary. With that, you
can change a character in a text field to be an image.
So make a background field with fixedLineheight turned off, centered text,
and a single characte

Thanks, Keith, Slava and Richmond,
Hmm... Tricky...
The database suggestion is reasonable, but I never learned how to use a
database with LC. As a pathetic hyperCard retread, I tend to think of LC as a
database!

Tim,
Perhaps have a set of 'view' cards, together with an 'input' card (or substack)
for data entry that traps the various videos and field data, This input card
