Livecode Crashes with Image Source Set to a URL

[Ray Horsley]

Hugh,

Very interesting!  Are you sure you gave it a good try?  I have to work it a
bit to get it to crash.  Usually trying different speeds of
click-click-click-click without regard as to what I see on screen.
Nonetheless, I think downloading/importing the images and setting the
imageSource to their ID's is going to be the solution.

Thanks,

Ray

I cannot crash your stack. Works fine. Windows XP w/4.5.2 in the mc IDE.

Am suspecting either the version or (heaven forfend) the LC IDE.

Why use a url-based imgSrc? Why not store the imgs in a substack instead?

If you have to fequently update the imgs, can you 'start using' a url-based
stack of the required img references on launch so it's in cache instead?

Please take a look if you have a minute.  I can't get anything to keep
Livecode from totaling crashing with this rather simple stack.  Even if I
had some way of knowing when the imageSource's URL has finished downloading
I could disable buttons so requests don't seemingly back up and crash
Livecode.

Thanks,

Ray
