A way to view an online image?

[ClickerGuy]

Is there a simple way to view an online image in a MMF2 app?

(what extension can do this?)



SOF --->

extension:
display image "http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif"
------------------------------


(I hope that is understandable)

I can use a few different ways to get a LOCAL image to show up "c:\image.jpg"
but not an online one...

any ideas?

Well, the only way I can think of is using the MS Web Browser ActiveX and navigate to that address. What might also be possible, however, is download the image through the Download Object to a temp folder and then call the Picture Object to open that temporary image.

Do these two things work for you?

Dang, The second method you mentioned is the roundabout way I was doing it in the past... (I was hoping for a more direct method)

Thanks for your reply though, chipset!

A much simpler way that only works in vitalize! applications as far as I know is to just type the web address directly into the loader of, for example the Active Picture Object. I just tested this and it works. It needs to be www. or http://www.
