Hi,
Is it possible to load an image from filesystem (which was retrieved and written to tmp:/somelocation) using AsyncGetToFile() to be shown in a poster component?
Or is it limited to URIs only?Currently it appears that the posterURLs that we specify gets reloaded when we navigate away from the scene and come back.
How can this be cached and used?

You can do the following:

<Poster uri="pkg:/path/to/image.jpg" />

Thanks Tyler for the response. But i want to address a scenario where, the image becomes available through a URL fetch (Eg:AsyncGettoFile) and they are saved in temp.
It's not a part of the channel package. From a task node, am able to save the image to temp folder and verify it exists.
But when i use this location URL for a poster, the poster is blank. In SDK 1.0 it was possible. It looks like, file system access isn't possible from component?
I could see from docs that roFileSystem isn't available from component.

Use tmp:/ instead of pkg:/ if you are downloading to tmp:/

Joel,
Thanks for the response. I used the file system path only (tmp:/...) after downloading it to tmp. I also verified that the file is saved. However if this path is set as URI for a poster, the poster is blank.If i use an image from pkg it loads correctly. If i observe the loadstatus change of the poster it goes to failed state. This is something i see in scene graph components. in SDK 1.0 this was possible.
