Clones are slightly different, instead of having a reference to the underlaying CoglTexture, they have a reference on the ClutterActor they're created from. In your case, I guess that shouldn't be a problem. Regarding your binding problem, one thing you could try is creating a ClutterTexture then use the set_from_file() method on this first actor, and get the CoglTexture using get_cogl_texture on this. You should be able to create new textures and call set_cogl_texture on them. -- Lionel _______________________________________________ clutter-app-devel-list mailing list clutter-app-devel-list@clutter-project.org http://lists.clutter-project.org/listinfo/clutter-app-devel-list
