Subject: FXMemoryStream and FXJPGImage

Hi,

I'm trying to load an in memory JPG image (stored in a String object ) by 
using a FXMemoryStream (seems to be the good kind of stream for that kind 
of thing). However, I couldn't understand how to use it:

The Constructor takes a "Data" object as parameter [1] but a Data object 
cannot be instancied easily[2].

Moreover, the open() method of the FXMemoryStream does not seem to be
really bound (at least something odd is happening)[3].

I would like to proceed as follows if possible:

# s being my jpeg string
img = FXJPGImage.new(getApp(), nil, IMAGE_KEEP|IMAGE_SHMI|IMAGE_SHMP)
FXMemoryStream.setData(s)
FXMemoryStream.open(FXStreamLoad) { |stream|
	img.loadPixels(stream) 
}
# done !

But obviously, i missed something to make this work. Do you have any
suggestion ?

Thanks a lot! :)

In the Kamigata area they have a sort of tiered lunchbox they use for a single
day when flower viewing. Upon returning, they throw them away, trampling them
underfoot. The end is important in all things.
