I want to get an image on internet into my project. Of course, this 
simple line does not give any result :
  Canvas1.backdrop = "http://leonardodavinci.com/pict/monalisa-rearview.gif";
How should I proceed ?

Thanks!

As all your fine tutorials, this works nicely but I never end with questions...
I want to get a series of image files from some site, so I use your 
example within a loop in which I parse a file giving a list of image 
urls. I want the loop to wait for each image download completion for 
say three seconds, then process this image or skip to next. My firts 
attempts of course got my app hanging...
How do I write the "wait, then test and eventually skip" part of the 
loop, since I found no timeout property or settimeout method in the 
HTTPSocket thing ?

Thanks, again and again...
