Don't load a file that is not an image

Sorry, that don't work!

I get this error message:
- - - -
Execution Error
import: can't read file, mask file or display
Handler: error in statement
- - - -

May be it cannot work, because I use it in a script on a substack  
that leads to the mainstack like this:

    go stack "mainstack"
    import paint ...

I did it, because I have to change the imageNames to ImgQuestion1,  
ImgAnswer7, ImgPhoto16 for example. And I have to ensure, that every  
name is only used one time on a card. The result is only a simple  
name or a "Cancel", so that it may be possible to realise it by a  
modal command.

But in the MetaTalk Reference I found this:

If information must be returned to the handler that executed the  
modal command, set a custom property on the stack and check that  
value after the modal command...

CUSTOM PROPERTY  Heaven! A new field to dig!

Please read my enquiry to that stage!
