I’m trying to ‘apply’ an image that I’ve uploaded to the app designer as a property of an object, but I can’t seem to find if it is possible as I can only use the block assigned to the image component to retrieve the actual image.
BTW, i just found out that I can’t set it as a property, I’ll see if I can make a list of images.
Hope I explained myself, thx.
Why did you decide that this is impossible?
I just tried to attach the block “from image x get the image” to the object propoerty but it says I can’t
Do this in a function, not directly in initialize. This is a well-known nuance. Or try this join through the text “join” block
Like “add the picture to the end of the list”, or “set the object property to picture x”?
I just tried this and gives no error, maybe I can use this?
Ok Ok many thanks as always.
So I’m noticing that this works with databases, lists and objects.
Thx
BTW, can you confirm that I can’t access an image that I uploaded to the app if I don’t assign it to some component and only from there I can retrieve it?
If an image is loaded into a project, then it can be accessed by specifying the file name in the text block
BTW, the “set object property” is not working 
Can you show blocks that don’t work? While I have not seen this.
I get set the image as a property of the object as the screen starts, then I clone a button and row/labels/buttons and set them specific names and images that are properties of objects in a list of objects
Sorry, but I did not understand that this does not work.
I think the problem is this “in list x getobject number y”, or pictures are not allowed as objects properties.
I tried using a normal list and it works, but I can’t have the “j” position in the list as it gives 0 for every “j” object in the list
The Picture property is just a text string. How can it not be resolved?
You are trying to build a house from the roof, so there are difficulties. Try to start with a simple foundation:
If this does not work out, then the error is in the blocks.
Right, I tested as you said a very basic one and it worked, so now I’m stepping up from there, and this is not working already.
I get the value that is set in the object’s property but not the image I set as the screen opens.
I think I’m stuck.
I’ll show you an example now.
Thank you
I understood the problem. The point is in the type of the variable. If you use a global variable, it will not really work. This is surprising.
For this reason, I try to use variable functions that work as expected.

Ok, very good thx, but as @Mark told you that kind of behaviour might change in the future so it’s risky to base a part of the app on that.
Btw, since you can upload objects to firebase, I’m curious to see how it will work if you set an image as an object’s property.
BTW, how do you create functions variables without the function? Do you just delete it after you create the variable?
