something like this (but this doesn’t work)
is there a way?

If the image\_json variable is NOT in JSON format then replace the set property to
If the image\_json variable IS in JSON format, then replace the set property to
Also, replace the text in the join block with the same name as the image component.
Hope this helps!

Are you trying to loop images for a single Image component as in an animation? Or are you trying to change the Picture value of several Image components all at once?
Your blocks aren’t going to change anything because you’re not using a `set Image` block. Changing the property of a variable won’t affect the look of anything on the screen.
Once I know your answer, I can make a suggestion. Where are your images stored? Also, what are examples of your image filenames? Lastly, are you using the newer Drag and Drop interface or the older Snap to Place interface?

thank you shrey-
the second solution (image\_json variable IS in JSON format) is the one for me.

hi Tatiana thanks for the reply -much appreciated
Shrey’s solution worked for me -
(its probably me - but cant help thinking the ‘any component’ tab should be under core instead of advanced)
