Import Referenced control??

[MFitz53]

I'm making a little slideshow app to put on a cd with a collection of photos. Before I can go any further with this, I have a little problem that I need to deal with. Just to see if I could get the pictures to show up, I scripted the field containg all of the titles as follows.


on mouseUp
 put the value of the clickLine into photoToShow
put the cphotoFolderPath of this stack into folderPath--(set in answer folder btn script)
import paint from file folderPath& "/"&photoToShow
wait 10 seconds
hide image photoToShow
send "choose browse tool "to me in 5 ticks
end mouseup

At the time I did not realize that this is the same as "Import as Control" from the file menu, so I very quickly slowed my stack to a crawl from accumulating a few rather large image files.

Is there a way to do this by scripting in a referenced control?

thanks,
mike
