Hi Chris, thanks for the tips. I tried both the sync and async modes
and neither of them work correctly. It hadnt occured to me to try the
Movie Loader to load images, and much to my delight it worked
correctly! Though one downside to that is the framerate is
UNBELIEVABLY slow. About 2 fps with only 6 640x480 images on screen
with hardly any processing (solid 60fps when using the image
downloader) - so as it is it is quite unsuable :( . I tried a few
different Movie Loader settings but still 2fps... no idea why :S
I also had a look at the kineme plugin, but am getting an exception
(details below)... i'm running leopard, dunno if thats why

Hi All, i want to create an XML based coverflow type app and have
run into a problem. I'm loading the XML and running an iterator on
structure members. If my XML contains a list of quicktime movies,
and in the iterator i use the Movie Loader patch reading in the URL
from the current structure, all works perfectly. But if my xml
contains a list of Jpegs, and in the iterator I use the Image
Downloader patch on screen i see the first image in the place of
all images!
I render the URL I read from the structure (the same string being
sent to the Image Downloader patch) on each image and they are
correct (e.g. each one has its unique image filename) - but the
Image Downloader patch is always outputting the first image! I've
played around with the cache settings and other settings I could
see but to no avail. I'm beginning to think this is a bug. Has
anyone encountered this? Or better still - found a solution!?
I think there is a known problem with Image Downloader in Iterators
-- lots of patches misbehave in those. Try setting the Image
Downloader to synchronous (normally it's asynchronous, which will
definitely generate incorrect output). If that doesn't work (I
don't think it does, but I don't remember off the top of my head),
you can try using the Movie Loader patch (it loads images too).
Kineme.net also has a blocking image downloader plugin that may work
as you're wanting.
