This facility seems to have been removed in 1.5. Can anyone explain how I can do this in 1.5? I'm developing an app based on a pack of cards so would like to be able to have a menu that takes me to each individual card - hence this request for help. Looking forward to some great solutions :-)) John Title Comments Hi In 1.4 I was able to upload and display a Single Image. This facility seems to have been removed in 1.5.

You can host your image on a web server or a free service like dropbox. Then enter the url to your image in the buzztouch interface where it asks for the image url. The other way is to enter the name of the file where it says Image File Name. Don't use spaces in the file name. Download your source files and open in Xcode. Then drag the image into the BT_images folder within Xcode. When you compile the app, it will embed the image within the app. Comments There are two ways using the image gallery option in 1.5.

Or you can take a HTML whit no text and add a image in ->Advanced Screen Properties -> background image. Comments It super easy in 1.5. Add a gallery and add only one image.

Mackimack - thanks for the info re html :-) Is there a way to insert an image in a block of text?

futurepacer buzztouch Evangelist Posts: 31 Reg: Aug 25, 2011 Newcastle upon ... 5,210	08/31/11 04:12 PM (14 years ago) Hi again Thanks for the advice, am testing both methods - they work fine, I guess I just have to choose :-)) Re images in HTML - as there doesn't seem to be a way to link when writing in plain text (there's no button to insert a link to an image) I switched over into source view and inserted one there, and that works fine. It would be easier to have the ability to insert from the text screen though :-)) Thanks again John Comments Hi again Thanks for the advice, am testing both methods - they work fine, I guess I just have to choose :-)) Re images in HTML - as there doesn't seem to be a way to link when writing in plain text (there's no button to insert a link to an image) I switched over into source view and inserted one there, and that works fine.

QuiggityBiggity Aspiring developer Posts: 38 Reg: Aug 05, 2011 Baltimore 980	09/01/11 09:29 AM (14 years ago) John, could you explain a bit more about using the HTML method? I have an image that is two screens in length (640x1920 resolution) that I'm trying to display using an HTML document. Setting it as the background image with all types of scrolling enabled won't let me scroll up and down, I assume because it's a background image and so the image is static. How do I link to the image stored in my BT_Images file from the HTML file? I'd rather not go through the web. I'm familiar with writing HTML but I'm not sure how exactly the directories work in xCode - what is the directory I should link to? Currently, my non-working HTML file reads: <html> <body> <img src=../BT_Images/Simple Map.png /> </body> </html> When I go to the screen in the simulator it states Data for the screen has not been downloaded. Please check your internet connection. Thanks, Nick Comments John, could you explain a bit more about using the HTML method?

Re the back ground image, I think you are right. Re use of image on an html screen - I was referencing an image on Dropbox - hence needing internet access. I too would be interested in finding out how to reference images in BT_Images from within html docs - maybe we should post another topic?

MGoBlue Apple Fan Posts: 980 Reg: Jun 07, 2011 Gold River, CA 10,600	09/01/11 06:04 PM (14 years ago) I believe if you put the images in the same folder as the HTML pages you just need to reference the file names. I haven't tried it, but think that's what I've read in other posts. Comments I believe if you put the images in the same folder as the HTML pages you just need to reference the file names.

QuiggityBiggity Aspiring developer Posts: 38 Reg: Aug 05, 2011 Baltimore 980	09/05/11 08:54 PM (14 years ago) John, I still can't get HTML working. I tried referencing the image several different ways, including putting the image in the same folder as the HTML file and using your suggested <img code. I kept getting the 'data for this screen could not be downloaded.. ' message. Saving the image as a PDF and adding a PDF screen worked fine. Thanks for your help John and MGoBlue!
