schoening 0 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I am trying to create my own Image( ); Object. This is how the build in Image function works: var img = new Image(); // Create new img element img.src = 'myImage.png'; // Set source path ctx.drawImage(img,0,0) is going to draw the image loaded from the img.src property. But I don't understand why.. Why am I not required to type: ctx.drawImage(img.src,0,0) ?? In fact, that breaks the script. Saying Type Error Please help me out here, I want to create my own "new Image()" with custom properties and methods.. Edited March 8, 2013 by schoening Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 drawImage takes an actual image, not a URL. Importantly, the image has to already be loaded also. It is an error if you try to draw an image that hasn't finished loading yet. So it needs the actual image, not just a URL. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Canvas/Tutorial/Using_images Quote Link to post Share on other sites

justsomeguy 1,135 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 That's probably not going to work because the images aren't loaded yet, check the link I posted above for examples. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
