--First you should do something to allow the user to cancel, such as
if it is empty then exit to top
-- now
put it into pathAndFilenameToRead -- not just the file name
--either
put url ("binary:" & pathAndFilenameToRead) into binFileInVariable
set the uFileStore of me to binFileInVariable
--or one step and no memory variable is created
--so it becomes 3 lines and user friendly + memory friendly
on mouseUp
answer file "Please select a file..."
if IT is empty then exit to top
set the uFileStore of me to url ("binary:" & IT)
end mouseUp

I want to add a file from disk to a custom property, encrypt it, and
save it. Then I want to be able to extract the file from the custom
property and open it in the appropriate application.
The first step is to put the file into the custom property but my
code below only puts the path to the file.
on mouseUp
answer file "Please select a file..."
put it into lFileToRead
-- Read the binary contents of a file into a variable
open file lFileToRead for binary read
read from file lFileToRead until end
put base64Encode(lFileToRead) into lBinaryFile -- not sure if this
is needed
close file lFileToRead
set the uFileStore of me to lBinaryFile
end mouseUp
What am I missing?
