How to load facebook profile image using LoaderMax?

Hi all,

 

How to load a profile image from facebook with url like this: https://graph.facebook.com/100005284152430/picture

 

I try to use LoaderMax.parse("https://graph.facebook.com/100005284152430/picture") but it's thrown an error

 

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the GreenSock forums.

 

The url you are using doesn't contain a file extension so LoaderMax has no way of knowing what type of loader to create (SWFLoader, ImageLoader, VideoLoader etc).

You will have to construct an ImageLoader for that asset

var profile:ImageLoader = new ImageLoader("https://graph.facebook.com/100005284152430/picture
", {});

It's really helpful, I can load the image now.

Thank you.
