CCAsyncRemoteSprite

CCAsyncRemoteSprite is a category that adds methods to CCSprite. Images can be downloaded asynchronously, and be shown in a CCSprite when downloaded. While the image is being downloaded, an optional placeholder image (CCTexture2D) can be shown.

Installation

This extension supports installing by CocoaPods. (in-progress)

Checkout Podspecs at https://github.com/CCPods/CCPods-specs

Alternatively, you can copy the files into your project.

Example Usage

    CCSprite *sprite = [CCSprite spriteWithURL:
                        [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://example.org/image.png"]];

    CCSprite *spriteWithplaceholderTexture = [CCSprite 
                                            spriteWithURL:url
                                            placeholderTexture:texture];

    CCSprite *spriteWithURLRequest = [CCSprite 
                                      spriteWithURLRequest: urlRequest 
                                      placeholderTexture:texture];

Using CCAsyncSprite with CCMenuItemImage:itemFromNormalSprite or other objects that use CCSprite::contentSize

If you do not use a placeholder texture, you should setContentSize explictly on the CCSprite. Because the content size is unknown until the remote image is downloaded.

If you use a placeholder texture, it should have the same size as that of the remote image.
