Thanks Jeanne
I did try this syntax but it did not work because the fixedlineheight of my
field was true ; in this case, if the image is to high, it do not appear at
all.
Also, for an image stored on the harddisk url "file:..." do not work, one
must write url "binfile:..."
If anyone want to test, just create a new stack with a field and a button
with this script
on mouseUp k
  if k =3 then edit the script of me
  else
  set the fixedlineheight of field 1 to false
    repeat with i = 1 to 4
      answer file "image source ?"
      if the result <> "cancel" then
        put return & return & return & return & return & return & return &
return & return & return & space after field 1
        set the imagesource of last char of field 1 to "binfile:" & it
        put the htmltext of field 1
      end if
    end repeat
  end if
end mouseUp
