load a player selected local image file into a tile map object for node webkit game. [SOLVED]

This is for local, not web. This is for node webkit export only. This can NOT be an image file in the game folder, it has to be from any folder the player selects.

I know to use the file selector.

I'm getting the proper full path to the image, but the load attempt still fails.

This exact same code worked in Construct 2, but fails in Construct 3.

I'm testing after exporting as node webkit, I'm not testing in the browser.

Has anyone successfully done this in Construct 3 and knows the trick to get the new image to actually load in?

For anyone who needs to know, its really convoluted for a non-programmer, but you can't use a file path for a "URL", even when using Node Webkit export.

So you need to load the file into the binary data object, and then load from URL>and get the URL of the binary data object.
