Hello Filemakers!

I am trying to create a portal from pictures table to inventory table that contains only one switchable image (through a joint table - because some parts are going to use same picture, this way I will save memory). The problem is, portals don't work quiet the same with pictures and need some scripting I have no idea how to do...

So I want a portal from the images table that has only one image at a time in it and next/previous/insert/export buttons below it, also below the picture portal I want to have a other portal to the image table, that would contain picture number and path to the image. This table also would have only one value at a time that would change according to the picture above. Also if it is possible to somehow get the picture path to insert automatically when you import the picture (I want to import the picture as a file and also get the path to separate field below it).

Finally I do like the picture to

1) Enlarge if you click on image

2) Import image if you click on empty portal.

As off now I can't even get step one, which is to get the portal to swap page so I could insert 2nd image to it. With next portal row command nothing happens...

Thanks to anyone who can help with this.

Note that in order to make the selection permanent, you must use a field in the parent table instead of a variable.
