Creating a disappearing Add Image Button

[Cyoung55347]

Hello there,

I'm trying to create a form that has a labeled image insertion section.  To do this, I put text instructions "Click here to Add Image" in the middle of where I want the image, then I added the Image field with "no fill" on top of that text.  This worked great when I inserted a jpeg file because the image covered up my text.  But then I tried inserting a pdf into this space, and my "Click here" text shows right through. (see image).  How do I make it so that when someone inserts the image, the text disappears? Thank you!

At the image field use a image with the text "Click here to Add Image" .

You can change the fill color of the field when it is clicked, like this:

event.target.fillColor = color.white;

if (event.target.buttonImportIcon()!=0) event.target.fillColor = color.transparent;

The last line of code will change it back to transparent if the user didn't select an image or it failed for some reason.

Worked perfectly.  Thanks!
