You need to now the node id (see admin interface, its in the URL) of this particular image object and then use

something like

{let tdimage=fetch(content, node, hash(node_id,55))}

<td background={$tdimage.data_map.<image attribute name>.content[reference].full_path|ezurl}>

....

{/let}

in design/user/templates/left_menu.tpl (included from pagelayout.tpl) i have:

<table border="0" cellpadding="3" width="100%"><tr><td>

{* loop children and print name with link *}
{let main_cats=fetch('content', 'list', hash(parent_node_id, 2, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array(1)))}

{section name=Cat loop=$main_cats}
{let latest=fetch('content', 'list', hash(parent_node_id, $Cat:item.node_id, limit, 3, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array(12)))}

<table class="left_menu" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="left_menu_top" align="center">
<a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$Cat:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl} class="left_menu">{$Cat:item.name|wash}</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left_menu_bottom" align="left">
{section name=Last loop=$Cat:latest}
<a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$Cat:Last:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl}>{$Cat:Last:item.name|wash}</a> <br>
{/section}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
{/let}
{/section}

</td></tr></table>

{/let}

So for each folder in the root folder it makes a little table. All the little tables togetger form the menu.
My goal is that one can make an object of the type 'menu background' (that is a copy of the class image that i made) and the the image is used as background for the second table cell. the one's with class=left_menu_bottom.

This way, users using the interface to add stuff to the site (here, a folder in the root folder) can also create an image object to use as background in the menu. they don't have to upload/copy an image to /desing/user/images and edit a template to have the background they want.

ok, i'm there, thanks for the quick responses!

{let
main_cats=fetch('content', 'list', hash(parent_node_id, 2, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array(1)))
}
{section name=Cat loop=$main_cats}
{let
latest=fetch('content', 'list', hash(parent_node_id, $Cat:item.node_id, limit, 3, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array(12)))
backgrounds=fetch('content', 'list', hash(parent_node_id, $Cat:item.node_id, limit, 1, class_filter_type, include, class_filter_array, array(14)))
}
<table class="left_menu" width="100%" cellspacing="1">
<tr>
<td class="left_menu_top" align="center">
<a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$Cat:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl} class="left_menu">{$Cat:item.name|wash}</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="left_menu_bottom" align="left" background={$Cat:backgrounds[0].data_map.image.content[original].full_path|ezroot}">
{section name=Last loop=$Cat:latest}
<a href={concat("/content/view/full/",$Cat:Last:item.node_id,"/")|ezurl}>{$Cat:Last:item.name|wash}</a> <br>
{/section}
