Thanks for the replies!

Setting the cell to the filepath as string didn't work for me in FMP6. I
still would rather do this in AS, but if I can do it with a mix of AS and
the built-in scripting language in FMP, I'm okay with that. I'll try it.
Meanwhile, if anybody knows the syntax for inserting a picture file into a
container field, I'd appreciate the help.
