That's exactly what my script does. You need a trigger. The mouseup action of the button is the trigger. Calculation scripts only change when field values change. An image added to a button field is not a value change. What do you mean "prompt"? If you insist on making this a custom calculation script in the text field you would change the script to the following (assuming "Button1" is the image field name):
var icn=this.getField("Button1").buttonGetIcon();
var status="Has image";
try{util.iconStreamFromIcon(icn)}catch(e){status="Does not have image."}
event.value=status;
You will still need to modify the mouseup action of the image field so the change happens immediately by adding this line of code to the mouse up action:
In the mouse up action of the image you should this script:
event.target.buttonImportIcon();
Assuming the name of your text field is "Status", add the following script after the script above in the mouse up action of the button/image field:
var icn=event.target.buttonGetIcon();
var status="Has image";
try{util.iconStreamFromIcon(icn)}catch(e){status="Does not have image."}
this.getField("Status").value=status;
I have tried to use this in a Calculate event of a text field to automatically show the status but somehow it does not work immediately, you need to make an input from another field to trigger it to calculate,,, what I am trying to have is that it should immediately prompt in a text field that a user has uploaded an image right after uploading an image field.

Thank you for that script. But, yes, it does when triggered using Mouse Up. What I am saying is is there a way that when you upload an image, my text field will automatically show the status that there is an uploaded image. I tried it i Calculate but its not working fine.
Both of my scripts do exactly that. One is a mouse up event in the button/image field. The other is a calculation event in the text field. Choose one or the other. If you chose the calculation script you need to add a this.calculateNow() to the button/image script. What do you mean "upload an image"? What do you want the text field to say?
