Hi Peter,
If I understand you correctly, you would need to build a repeat loop to work
through your images with something like…
set the imageData of img "extRefImage" to the imageData of img "intImage"
Beware if your images are scaled, that will affect the imageData, they need to
be the same size.
If the referenced images are identical to the internal images, you maybe didn't
need to re-import them as controls, just…
set the imageData of img "A" to the imageData of img "A"
this will convert a referenced image to an an internal image at the size it is
displayed, but if they are scaled images, try…
lock screen
## Record the size and position of the image
put the width of img "imageX" into tWidth
put the height of img "imageX" into tHeight
put the loc of img "imageX" into tLoc
## Convert Ref image to Internal image
set the width of img "imageX" to the formattedWidth of img "imageX"
set the height of img "imageX" to the formattedHeight of img "imageX"
set the imageData of img "imageX" to the imageData of img "imageX"
## Re-set the size and position of the image
set the width of img "imageX" to tWidth
set the height of img "imageX" to tHeight
set the loc of img "imageX" to tLoc
unlock screen
Hope this helps.
