I have been trying to load an image, and I keep getting URL Not Found error.

I am using background.setImage("image.png");

I have the image under the project folder, and under the src folder.

Is there something I am missing?

Thanks,

Chris S

Can you post a code snippet, if your code is not so proprietary as to preclude publically posting it?

For loading an image file from a local app directory using a URLRequest object the typical usage is e.g.:

myURLRequest = new URLRequest("app:///<relative path to image file>");

Some folks like to segregate their assets into separate dirs so you might have a path like

app:///assets/images/image.png. 

You would create a URLRequest object as above and then use the load() method of a Loader object to

load the URL, and once it loaded successfully, access the ContentLoaderInfo.content property of the

Loader object.

You can also embed the image into the app so there is no delay in load time.

While this wasn't the answer to my question, I have deciced to use this method instead.

Thanks,
