loadFont/loadImage from nested class (Read 917 times)

loadFont/loadImage from nested class
Feb 23rd, 2010, 12:16pm  
It appears I can't call loadFont or loadImage from the constructor of my own class (nested inside of the PApplet class). Or at least if I do, I need some other naming convention. I get the exception about not being able to find the font or image.

Is this supposed to work? Is there a way to make it work?

It should work.  Can you paste the code?

Ensure your object is created in setup(). If you create it as global variable, the constructor will be run before setup() is run, and sketch path (thus data folder path) won't be initialized yet.

Thanks PhiLho.

I have just experienced the same problem and couldn't work out what was wrong until I found your reply to this thread.

I was creating the object at the same time as creating a global variable and it failed.

I moved the object creation into setup(), but left the object as a global variable and it worked.

Thanks
