hey guys.
im using photoshop to create a cutout character on AS.
everything just fine but...
im wondering how can I replace the leg's images of
my already rigged cut-out character BUT still keep the bones setups and stuff intact for these legs im changing; (i think my bones are fine, i just wanted to change the legs images);
sorry if it's a dumb question to ask but i can't find an easy way to do it, and im sure there must be a very easy one.

Genete wrote this great little script for me that refreshes and replaces images from AS.

Or in the image layer's layer settings, image tab, you just need to assign the new source image. That script is for updating a changed image, but it sounds like you want to swap images.

You can always assign a new image for one which already is imported and rigged. Just go inside the layer properties and assign a new source.
If you don't see a change, just close the AS file and open it again. It now has updated all image information.

Slowtiger, This is what the script that Genete wrote, (above), does without the user having to close and re-open AS. It's a real timesaver for people who use a lot of images in their work. It came about when I was using image sequences in a project and photoshopping them as I went along but was frustrated with AS not refreshin the source sequence without shutting down and re-assigning etc hence a thread on the forum resulted in this Lua script from Genete. it's fantastic!

Hi DK...
I realise that this is an old thred but I cant seem to get the ge_reload_image.lua script to work?
In another post you said you deleated the ******'s. This too doesn't work for me? could you take a look at the script you've installed and copy it!
Ta,
Spence
