remote data loading

[payopepe]

Hi all!

Is it possible to load an image from a web app? or some information?

example:

-I want my APP LOGO load an image as the application and that the image can be changed from outside the application.
-That the *. INI is in a web address. To control remotely options.

Greetings and thank you very much.

You can save the ini on a server and use the "get object" to retrieve the data from it.

You really don't have to use an ini file though. Any web address that returns text can work. You could use a php file and have code that changes the output based on the ip address of the user, or even a value that is sent with the request.

For example:

http://yoursite.com/app.php?version=1.0&id=james

and have a php script on your sever that returns the correct values.

To load images from an URL simply use the Active Picture object.

The PC runtime cannot do this unfortunately (so it will not work when you test it on PC) but the iOS version of it makes this very simple for you:

Just load the URL as you would load a file:
Load file "http://www.mydomain.com/myimage.png"

If the url starts with 'http' it will fetch it from the web.
