Load texture from url image in RawImage of Image of UI

Unity Engine

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask you how i can load on Raw Image texture from url.

This code doesn’t work for me

private string url = "www.mydomain.com/images/image.jpg";

public loadTheImage(){
            RawImage theRawImage = (RawImage)gameObject.GetComponent(typeof(RawImage));
            theRawImage.texture = url;
}

it gives this error “error CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type string' to UnityEngine.Texture’”

Any idea.

Thank you in advance

you have to load the texture yourself with the WWW class and then assign the texture you get. the Image has no idea how to take a string and make it a texture.

Thank you for your answer phil-Unity.

I know how to make texture from www, But the problem is that the RawImage gives only for read the maintexture and i have to use the texture attribute, which does not work with www as the main texture.

Any idea ?

Thank you
