Issues importing a Bitmap - 404 png not found?

Haxe
#1

Greetings everyone,

Thanks for taking a look at my issue. I’m using HaxeDevelop to load a bitmap image in and publish out to HTML5. However, in doing so I’m getting the following error:

Uncaught [lime.utils.Assets] ERROR: There is no IMAGE asset with an ID of "assets/wallpaper.png"

Edit: Originally it had a 404 error stating that the png file could not be found, but since I stripped everything else out of my project, the above error shows instead.

Now, I’ve used code directly out of the DisplayingABitmap sample file (which works perfectly). However when I try it doesn’t work. I even removed everything in my code except for the following…

package;

import openfl.Assets;
import openfl.display.Bitmap;
import openfl.display.BitmapData;
import openfl.display.Sprite;

class Main extends Sprite {

public function new () {
	
	super ();
	
	var bitmap = new Bitmap (Assets.getBitmapData ("assets/wallpaper.png"));
	addChild (bitmap);
	
}

}

My folder directory looks like this:

  • References
  • Assets
    • wallpaper.png is in this folder
  • Export
  • Source
    • Main.hx is in this folder
  • project.xml

I’m wondering if my HaxeDevelop isn’t setup correctly. My project folder is in a different directory than the Haxelib install I initially downloaded and I’ve noticed that when I tried using import motion.Actuate; it didn’t recognize it for me, where as an animation example I was reviewing did work. The only difference I could see is it’s location on my computer.

Thanks for taking a look at my issue,
Greg

You’ve probably missing something within project.xml file. For asset defined like you’ve shown you should have a project.xml file entry like the following:

<assets path="Assets" rename="assets" />

Thank you. That did it. I’m still learning things like this. The documentation doesn’t always cover these details when setting up files.

Thanks again.
