[Laszlo-user] Runtime resource loading

[Srini Raja]

Phil,

My view code looks very similar to

<view name="photo" resource="http://www.yahoo.com/photo.jpg" />

The images will be served from another website and hence I will not know
about the images during compile time. I will know only the url before hand.

Please check out the LZPIX demo at http://www.openlaszlo.org/demos#LZPIX

My code is very similar to that.
