PImage errors?
Dec 15^th, 2008, 3:41pm

I've been modifying my program and run into a strange error that I've yet to receive. Using processing 1.0.1

I declared a new PImage inside of my setup and then tried to reference it in my draw, yet it says "Cannot find anything named 'splashLogo'"

The odd thing is I've got movies within my draw that load and play fine. I tried moving the PImage declaration outside of the setup as a global and my file was not found, even though I can see it in the data folder. If I declare the PImage inside the draw it loads as it should. Any ideas?

Looks basically like this
Code:


void setup(){

PImage splashLogo = loadImage("mwvsplash.jpg");

}

void draw (){

if(tag == 0){
image(splashLogo, rectx, recty, rectWidth, rectLength);
}
}

You have to use a mix of both:
Code:

// Declare outside of setup() so all functions can see it
PImage splashLogo;

void setup(){
// Initialize in setup because at above level, 
// the data folder hasn't been checked yet (I think)
splashLogo = loadImage("mwvsplash.jpg");
 
}
 
void draw (){
 
if(tag == 0){
image(splashLogo, rectx, recty, rectWidth, rectLength);
}
}
