Any way to load locally stored files at runtime?

Is there any way to load files (images, sound effects, music) from a local HDD at runtime? I know a file menu will require some more work and possibly a plugin, but right now I would be more than happy to load files through a bunch of textboxes.

I've already tried "load image from URL" (Load Image from textbox.text) but that doesn't really seem to work.

Ideally, I would want to load all files through my own little editor and save them in a way that makes it easy to be loaded by an adventure interpreter I'm also working on (also developed in Construct2).

Bump.

Directing "Load image from file " to "file:///C:/imagename.png"

yields no result.

Is this because of the AJAX limitations?

Yes, you can't just load any file from someone else computer ;)

I don't think there's any other way than a manual import

You could make it more user-friendly with this kind of thing though

I'm unable to download the CAPX for now. But if I understand this correctly, this plugin would allow me to drop graphics directly into the browser window/node webkit application.

If this is the case, it would be a more than welcome addition to my Adventure Engine project.

I want the editor suite of GOAE (short for Grand Old Adventure Engine -- the original engine was done in the wanning days of MS-DOS. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the source code. Which is a real shame, considering the tricks I had to pull off to get transparency working back then.) to be as discernible as possible.

Alright.

Tried it and it works splendidly.

Thanks for telling me about this, unarguably great, plugin.
