applet can not load image ?
Sep 17th, 2006, 3:55pm  
Hi.
when I try to load an image from  web  it works but after making applet it doesn´t load.
I use it like this.
b = loadImage("http://xxx.com/xx.jpg");

What might be the problem?
Thanks.

There are security restrictions in applets that stop you from loading an image from a foreign server, i.e. if your applet is on:

yourserver.com

you can load the image:

yourserver.com/image.jpg

but not:

otherserver.com/image.jpg

Two solutions are creating a local proxy (using PHP for example) to load the image, or signing the applet.
