How do I load an image from PC hard drive?

Just trying two simple tests:

1. When a layout starts, load an image from the PC hard drive. I've tried:

On Start of Layout - Sprite - Load Image from "C:\Documents and Settings\Private\Desktop\PicFile.jpg

Nothing happens.

2. Use File chooser to get, load, and SHOW a picture file from the PC hard drive. I'm about to get to the file search to activate, but I don't know how to get a file and make it show.

I tried to do these the way I used to do with them with Construct Classic, but it doesn't appear to be the same or maybe I'm missing something.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Layout

Add a File Chooser Object

Add an Empty Sprite

Event Sheet

On File Chooser Changed - Image Sprite - Load Image from FileChooser.FileURLAt(0)

Select Resize Sprite to Image if you want.

Done

Hi VictoryX,

I really appreciate the look! But it's still not working. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I went

File Chooser - On Changed --> Sprite - Load Image from "FileChooser.FileURLAt(https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/63 ... 2v9f8Z.jpg)"

And nothing. Tried a local file, and still, nothing.

Ah, got it. Thanks, korbaach!

Hey, does anyone if there is a way to change the text of the FileChooser button? Or is this hardcoded?

fileChooser_Button.capx

Awesome, Korbaach! I see what you did there!

Thanks!
