Problems with loadStrings() Feb 13th, 2010, 2:45pm   Simple little annoyance here. Code: public String words[] = loadStrings("Dict.txt"); Which gives error: Code: The file "Dict.txt" is missing or inaccessible, make sure the URL is valid or that the file has been added to your sketch and is readable. Dict.txt is in the data folder of the sketch, and saved with UTF-8 format. My question is, why am I getting this error, and how can I fix it? Please help, HiGuy

You declared this line above setup(). All loadXxx() stuff must be in setup() (or draw() but then should be conditional to avoid loading on each frame) because before that (at global variables init time) the data folder location isn't known.
