Hello!

I came across this topic https://www.construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8/load-binarydata-dictionary-151643.

You can store different images in BinaryData under different tags, which is very similar to the dictionary.

Can someone please tell me how to do this? Or was this feature removed? I'm not able to find the place where I can define tags for the binary object.

I need this for loading images from local storages binary data. Otherwise I would need to use a dictionary and store the data as Base64.

Or maybe use JSON if it is able to hold binary data (is it?).

I am not sure what I meant by tags in that post... Probably storing different images in Local Storage under different keys.

By the way, you can create multiple instances of BinaryData object. Add an instance variable "tag" to BinaryData and there you go - you can load each image into a separate instance of BinaryData with its own unique tag. (in theory at least, I haven't tried it)

That's an interesting idea. I will look into this if I need it.

For now I just load Base64 into an ImageMemory library.
