Hi all,
I'm a newbie to this list, but I've been around on Direct-L for a while - nobody
there was able to answer this question for me, so I'm posting over here.
Hopefully I'll find someone who can help!
I've got access to an ad server, which dynamically calls images (from different
URLs) based on the string it's passed. The way we pass the information is via a
simple HTTP request and this, in turns, pulls up the current image. I want to
preload this dynamically pulled image, and then display it in my application.
Anyone have any clues? What I've tried to do is use preloadNetThing(gNetID.Img)
where gNetID is a property list and the Img property is the following:
gNetID.Img = "http://my.adserver.net/ad/my.site.com/download;sz=468x60;ord=" &
gOrd & "?"
where gOrd is a random number between 1000000 and 10000000000000000. The random
number is mainly just to make sure that the ads are synched between this image
and a URL while still pulling a new image each time (essentially it's a
cachebuster, as well as a link between the image and the HREF). Using the URL
in a browser works fine...but when I try it via Lingo, it gives me a netError()
of 4165 - URL not found.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why I'm getting the 4165 error?
Thanks in advance,
Deep (just a guy)
