[JS][CS5] ScriptUI

You need a reference to a file object, and I think you'll therefore have to download the image, then create a local reference.

Or read the binary data and feed that in as a hex string...

Roy,

This post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2326630#2326630 shows a method used by Bob Stucky. There's quite a bit of code there, but it shows how to create a resource string from a PNG file and use that string in a script.

How do I process the string from an existing icon, and the the correct syntax for reading it back in?  Can you help with this?

Here is the basic idea:

function serializeFile(/*str*/path)
{
     var f = new File(path),
          s = null;
     
     if( f && (f.encoding='BINARY') && f.open('r') )
          {
          s = f.read();
          f.close();
          }

     return s && s.toSource();
}

alert( serializeFile("/path/to/my/file.png") );
