Accessing a sprite after exporting for Windows 8

Hi!

I need to access the file behind a Sprite object after exporting for Windows 8.

If I have a plugin action which takes an argument as Object and I invoke it with a sprite object, I am able to obtain the file name for that sprite with the following code:

Is this a reliable way to get the file name backing the sprite object?

var inst = objectImage.getFirstPicked();

if (!inst || !inst.curFrame)

   return;

var imgLocation = inst.curFrame.texture_file; // returns images\filename0.png

Hi!

Ashley or someone else, can you please help me with this?

I think it would be more reliable to use inst.curFrame.texture_img.src. You will have to deal with automatic spritesheeting though - one image may contain many animation frames.

Ashley, thanks for the reply. I as concerned about the automatic spritesheet too.

Is there a way to instruct the C2 engine not to do that for specific sprites? (For example setting a property in the sprite?)
