Download image from URL and apply to Sprite component

Cocos Creator
#1

I’ve been searching on how to download images from an URL to a cocos creator game, i have no succeeded at all, because either the topic on the forum contains obsolete code or the thing wasnt solved, and through the things I have tried the only one that got me close to achieve that was changing the sprite frame of the sprite component, but that does not seems to work as well.It loads the image as a Texture2D, but when i try to set it to a new SpriteFrame it throws an uncaught reference error “Uncaught TypeError: n.textureLoaded is not a function”. So if anyone could help me that I would appreciate it

Try this (typescript):

cc.loader.load(url, (err, tex)=>{
this.picSprite.spriteFrame = new cc.SpriteFrame(tex);
});
