Dynamically setting image field href

[BobKlaas]

I'm trying to dynamically set an image field on my LiveCycle PDF form. On my form onReady function I have some Javascript code that is executing. For some reason, if I explicity set my image field to a string value, everything works. However, if I try to dynamically set it using a value from a text input, it doesn't work.

Any ideas? I've used app.alert to make sure that the value in the textfield is correct.

//Try to set image field to a string value. [WORKS]
swatch1.image.value.image.href = "http://localhost/qs/images/waterswatch.png";
//Alert Value of text field (Result: http://localhost/qs/images/waterswatch.png )
app.alert(swatch1.imgPath.rawValue)
 //Try to set image field dynamically. [DOESNT WORK]
swatch1.image.value.image.href = swatch1.imgPath.rawValue;

Hi,

the href property cannot be set dynamically to load external images.

This will only work for already embedded images.

I am able to set my image field using the code below. Isn't that dynamic in the fact that it is not embedded in the LiveCycle template? All i want to do is replace that string value with the text attribute of a textfield.

//Try to set image field to a string value. [WORKS] 
swatch1.image.value.image.href = "http://localhost/qs/images/waterswatch.png";

If what you say is correct, how would you pass images into a LiveCycle form from ColdFusion or any other programming language?
