Trouble loading files using 'Spriter management'

[Sandro]

Hello @Trixt0r,
I am trying to use the Spriter class for managing my animations etc.
This is my first try on loading the resources I want and playing the animation:

        Spriter.setDrawerDependencies(sb, sr);
        Spriter.setLoaderDependencies();
        Spriter.init(LibGdxLoader.class, LibGdxDrawer.class);

        FileHandle handle = Gdx.files.internal("spriter/general/StartAnimation/AppStart.scml");
        Spriter.load(handle.read(), "AppStart.scml");

        player = Spriter.newPlayer("AppStart.scml", 0);
        player.speed = 3;

The program crashes when calling Spriter.updateAndDraw() and throws an exception:
Could not find file handle CookedApps_Logo.png! Please check your paths.

My "StartAnimation" folder holds exactly two files: the scml and CookedApps_Logo.png, so everything should be fine there. Maybe I misunderstand your explanation of how to use the Spriter class and loading assets with it?

Or maybe the second exception is also relevant (although i think its caused because the image cannot be found):

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.Object com.brashmonkey.spriter.Loader.get(com.brashmonkey.spriter.FileReference)' on a null object reference
     at com.cookedapps.robotredemption.utilities.spriter.LibGdxDrawer.draw(LibGdxDrawer.java:47)

Thanks!

        Spriter.load("myfolder/myscml.scml");
        Player player = Spriter.newPlayer("myfolder/myscml.scml", 0);

Is what I used. I had a bit of trouble with it before I realized how to do it.

Hope this works for you :)

You have to pass the whole relative path to the scml file, i.e.

Spriter.load(handle.read(), "spriter/general/StartAnimation/AppStart.scml");

and

player = Spriter.newPlayer("spriter/general/StartAnimation/AppStart.scml", 0);

Here is an example.

Ahhh okay. That solves the problem.
I wasn't able to find the Spriter stress test because a few links are broken in your tutorial @Trixt0r, maybe you can fix it by time.

Thanks for your help!
