selectedImage

Type

function

Summary

Returns the number of the image which is partly or completely selected with the Select tool.

Syntax

the selectedImage

selectedImage()

Description

Use the selectedImage function to find out which image the user is painting in.

You use the Pointer tool to select entire objects (including images), but you use the Select tool (which is one of the paint tools) to select a rectangular portion of the picture that's contained in an image. The selectedImage function reports on the Select tool's selection, not the Pointer tool's.

To find out which objects are selected with the Pointer tool, use the selectedObject function instead.

Examples
