I'm creating an object from a template in a tile map but I want to set the image programmatically at the time of object creation. Is this possible?

I tried the following, and various alternatives, but none worked:

B4X: 
    Dim template As X2TileObjectTemplate = TileMap.GetObjectTemplateByName(ObjectLayer, "ball template")
    template.CustomProps.Put("graphic file 1", "ball" & Rnd(0, BallCount) & ".png")
    TileMap.CreateObject(template)

The graphics are part of the template and are created when you call TileMap.PrepareObjectsDef.

One possible way to change the image is by loading it yourself. For example:
B4X: 
X2.GraphicCache.PutGraphic("coin", Array(X2.LoadBmp(File.DirAssets, "coin.png", 2, 2, True)))
Car.GraphicName = "coin" 'Car is a X2BodyWrapper
You can load all the different balls once and then change the GraphicName of each object.
