RE: [Virtools] "Texture Load" a distant texture on a web Server

>From what I understand : The client creates his own textures, so they
are located on his local system/network. In that case I think there is
no pb at all:
	- In your online App (which is executed localy anyway): You just
have to create a user interface to enter a local path. The filled path
is then given as input parameter to a
'Narrative/ObjectManagement/Texture Load' BB. (well I understand this UI
is exactly what Eric did)
	- Then you can load the texture dynamically at runtime.
	- well the only pb is I don't see how you can save that state in
a .vmo using standard BB. (Anyway if each client can save his own
version of an app, if the webServer updates the app, big troubles
start...)
The only way I see would be kind of local config file listing the local
textures to load at each execution of the app. You could also upload
that config file on the webSite maybe, but you then will have to create
user accounts and things like that.. Arnaud.
