    Default How to dynamically load new image to cast member from file..


    I'm trying to load a new image from a file into an existing cast member during run-time and I'm sure not sure how to do this. Can you help?

    I've tried using "importFileInto" with the name of the new .jpg but that seems to cause problems. The new image loads ok, but the name of the cast member is changed to some random number in the process. I'm not sure what it happening.

    importFileInto member "ImageHolder", "c:/images/newImage.jpg"

    Any suggestions? Am I using the correct function?

    Thanks for the help!

    Default Re:How to dynamically load new image to cast member from file..

    if it is a possibility that the image file will change on a somewhat regular basis, then use an external image file in your member rather than embedding it ... then you can just use:

    member(x).filename = path to new image file
