remote image sounds librariable to me. :) I'm all in favor of keeping the C code size down by adding optional ruby libraries to do certain funner things. Then potentially on compiling an app to shy or executable only the needed libraries would be included, keeping code size down even further.
I'm seconding Don's findings on jpg on Windows. png and gif seem to load fine but jpg crashes the system somehow. I peeked at the applicable source but it's a bit deep for me from out here. Also, I've found that the Video object never seems to function properly in shoes. I had a similar problem with H-H, it just displays a blank area. I've tried flv, mpg, divx, xvid both locally and from web addresses. (If there's a bugtraq, you know, just point me there thx ;) - - Jesse On Jan 26, 2008 7:41 PM, Don Park <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for the method.
