Attempt to index local 'output' (a nil value) when downloading an image

DarkPixel

Hey guys, this is a strange error, cause yesterday it worked pretty well, but suddenly started showing this error.
This is the part of my code that creates this error:

local loader = UrlLoader.new(URL)   function onComplete(event) info:setText("done")   local output = io.open("temp.png", "w+") -- I also tried it with "wb" but the same error shows up output:write(event.data) -- Error shows up in this line output:close()   -- Bitmap that shows up in the middle   local pic = bitmap.new(Texture.new("temp.png")) pic:setAnchorPoint(0.5, 0.5) pic:setPosition(width/2, height/2 - 100) pic:setScale(0.96,0.96) stage:addChild(pic)   end

This is the error: attempt to index local 'output' (a nil value)

Hi,

You should write to (and read from) "|D|temp.png" not "temp.png".

I have tried that too, but didn't work, and shows another error in this line:

local pic = bitmap.new(Texture.new("|D|temp.png")) -- attempt to index global 'bitmap' (a nil value)

:S

atilim

you should change both "temp.png" to "|D|temp.png"

I have changed them both mate, nothing works. I could send you the source code via PM, for you to check it out.

of course. you can send atilim@gid....mobile.com

Just sent an email. Thanks for your time

There is bitmap.new in your code. It should be Bitmap.new
