PImages call API feeds? (Read 666 times)

PImages call API feeds?
Dec 11th, 2009, 7:09pm  
Hi, I'm fairly new to this, and I really need some help please with my program.  My processing code at the moment works with the Twitter API and the API portion is working, as I could see the feed being called in the black portion of the processing application, but I have no idea how to assign them to an image.  

Is it possible for an image in processing to call a random API feed every time the image is being clicked?  If so, how would you go about that?  

In addition, I have posted what I'm going to ask next in the Integration forum.  Would it be possible to do this using Javascript as well?  The calling of API feeds I mean and the linking them to images?  

Thanks.

Click on image: check that mouse coordinates are within the bounds of the image. Plenty of examples in the forum...

Using Web API on applet: you need to sign the applet (IIRC) so it can access a Web site different of the one serving the applet.
JavaScript is restricted with regard to cross-site access, I don't recall if there is a way to workaround such restriction (I don't think so). I know browser coders study a way to do it safely (for the user).
