It has been a while since I have done this, but I am building a help
system and want to include images in the body of some of my text fields.
I have a card (hidden) in my stack that has all of the images in it. now
I want to reference those images inline with the html text on a field.

I just realized I forgot to insert the script (time to go to bed!) This
is to drag right from the browser to a field:

put offset("",theHTML)-1 into z
put char b to z of theHTML into me

My script assumes that you've saved the webloc to disk. If you drag and
drop right off the browser window it will just get the url. In that
case, you could then grab the url and parse it for the Title tag.

Hey Thomas,
You need to get the contents of the dragData. Here's a quick a dirty
script that will put the name of the bookmark on line 1 and the url on
line 2. Put this in the field script:
on dragenter
set the acceptdrop to true
end dragenter
on dragdrop
set the itemDelimiter to "/"

Once again, kinda stabbing in the dark but try "pass DeleteFieldEditor" at the
end of your DeleteFieldEditor handler

If you simply want to drag an object
Thanks, that sounds like it should work. I have front scripts for suspendstack
and resumestack already so this should be pretty easy.

Oh. I've found the dragImage stuff. So I can drag just an image,
then move the object to the mouseup/drop location?

Is this under Windows? Because on OSX I get the URL and not the title when
dragging bookmarks from both Safari and Firefox into a Livecode field. In
fact from memory, to get the title on a Mac you need to grab the url, load
it and then parse the text between the title tags.

OK, having re-read your original post, I understand what you want, we're
talking about two different problems I think.
I want the insertion point to stay where it was in LC when I switch to another
app then back to LC. When I switch around between any other apps on my Mac,
that always happen
