load image from the web?

Xeronimo74

Hi, is it possible to load an image from the web into your p5js sketch?

I tried this but it didn't work: img = loadImage("http://myServer.com/assets/160x160/43.png");

Thanks!

Does the link actually work? I just tried it in a browser and got nowhere.

You can take any image URL you like to test it: http://i.imgur.com/dFzrjD5.png

So, yes, the link works. But it seems that you can load images from the web with loadImage() in p5js? Unlike with Processing.

Yeah, I know ... but that only refers to locally stored files. I'd like to load a remote image ... and that doesn't seem to work? Unlike in Processing.
