How do I load an Image from a URL after the game starts

What I would like to do is load images from a server into a sprite dynamically based off of options the user chooses. Basically an image viewer. I don't know if it would be possible without custom plugin. It definitely doesn't look like you can use a sprite.

Nevermind I saw the option to load image from URL

Can I use data uri as the url for the image as a way to cache images to be viewed offline, i.e. I can save the data uri's in an array and load them offline. Edit I dont have enough street cred to post url's I am using a article on css tricks about data uri's as a point of reference

Yes if you mean use a "C:\image.jpg" etc that will work. However it is a bit bugged it seems, if you try to reload using "load from url" at the moment. but hopefully it will be fixed.

Check your browser console. You'll see that you have a CORS issue, i.e. cross domain problem.

[quote:1gf5awjj]Load image from URL

Load an image from a given URL. The current animation frame will be replaced with the image. It is not shown until the image has finished downloading, and On image URL loaded triggers. Images loaded from different domains are subject to the same cross-domain restrictions as AJAX requests - for more information see the section on cross-domain in the AJAX object. Data URIs can also be passed as an image, e.g. from a canvas snapshot or webcam image. The Size parameter sets whether the Sprite object will be set to the image size when it loads, or whether to keep its current size and stretch the image.

For instance, using the following image in your .capx from wikipedia works:

CORS is about cross domain security. More info in the AJAX manual entry [url=https://www.scirra.com/manual/107/ajax]HERE[/url].
