From the dictionary and confirmed here: -------- *Important:* The crop command cannot be used on a referenced image. Doing so will cause an execution error. ---------
Also, today, I can't copy a referenced image? Again missing something simple... command createEmbedAndCrop Create image "gems" set the loc of img "gems" to the loc of img "theImage" # img "theImage" is referenced, now displayed in original format/rect -- set the imagedata of img "gems" to the imagedata of image "theImage" # doesn’t work -- set the text of img "gems" to the imagedata of image "theImage" # also doesn't work # from the dictionary. Also doesn’t work: put image "theImage" into image "gems" # this works, but have no data in the image "gems" : crop image "gems" to rect of grc "newCrop" end createEmbedAndCrop Hmm.... why does this fail: put image "theImage" into image "gems" Dictionary. --------- Imagedata: *Tip:* To copy the information in an image at full resolution, regardless of whether its height and width have been changed, use a statement like the following: put image "Full Resolution" into image "Copied Image" ------------ Well I discovered it's because image "fullResolution" is referenced? I scanned thru the IDE stacks in project Browser, looking for the "Import as Control --> image file" Which should have the method for imported an embedded image.... But I could not find it J.
