Thanks to Chipp and Scott for replying. I had written:

put url("bin & "C:/test.png") into image "myinternalimage"

Chipp, thanks but that requires me to put the new images in external files, which is what I'm trying to avoid (just one more thing for the user to get confused by).

I'm not quite following what you're trying to avoid here: do you just want
to prevent having two image objects that include the same data?  If so, you
can use a button to reference images by setting the icon of the button to
the id of whatever image you want.  Disable all the visual properties of the
button (threeD, autoHilite, border, etc) and you have an object that can act
as a viewer for internal images.

Thanks, I didn't think of that - I kind of want to do (repeatedly)


set the picture of image "mySpecialImage" to the picture of image "myPlaceholderImage"

So that "mySpecialImage" can contain all the custom props and stuff which I want it to have but change its appearance when the script requires it to do so - without invoking external files.

I now see that setting the icon does the job, unless there are some things you can't do with buttons and icons that you can do with images (I'll try it out).

Thanks again

Graham
