Switching out an image via dropdown menu (maybe with visibility?)

Question

Hi i am new at making PDF’s in Adobe Acrobat.

what i need is a dropdown menu which would allow you to change an image into another.. i have tried to get help from chatgpt with low expectations.. but it helped me get a basic understanding of how and that i need a script.. the problem is the script.. it made a script for me but it doesnt work so are there some script wizard in here who can give me a basic script or tell me how or were to find it.

Best Regards

Hi ​@Humming Wood,That script works beautifully as it is.You didn’t mentioned where are you running the script from.Things to keep in mind when employing the switch(event.value)method ina dropdown menu:Use your script as a custom keystroke script=> go to the “Format” tab => click on the “Edit...” button next tp the “CustomKeystroke Script:” editor, and place your script thereIn the “Dropdown Properties” dialog window => Go to the “Options” tab and check the tickbox “Commit selected value immediately”ensure that your items listed in the Item List are spelled exactly as the image buttonfield namesFor your convenience, here is a shared copy of my pdf with your working script:https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:62cb9cb0-65bc-46d6-9082-368429427c12

this is the code it gave me:// List all image buttonsvar imgs = [ "img_1_min", "img_10_min", "img_1_hour", "img_8_hours", "img_1_day"];// Hide all images firstfor (var i = 0; i < imgs.length; i++) { this.getField(imgs[i]).display = display.hidden;}// Show the selected oneswitch (event.value) { case "1min":  this.getField("img_1_min").display = display.visible;  break; case "10min":  this.getField("img_10_min").display = display.visible;  break; case "1hour":  this.getField("img_1_hour").display = display.visible;  break; case "8hours":  this.getField("img_8_hours").display = display.visible;  break; case "1day":  this.getField("img_1_day").display = display.visible;  break;}
