I was thinking that this will be extremely useful for content management and ultimately extended by the AppGameKit team themselves to be a built in feature..

If we had memblock functions extended to other media types such as MP3, WAVs and we could load external binary into memblocks, then into the object type we want and we would be able to take responsibility for our own media with extreme flexibility.

This way we could package levels and updates more effectively for downloading (e.g. like the old WAD format) with whatever obfuscation we choose.

Would anyone like to add some weight to this? I'm aware we can't just keep pushing for new things when they are trying to get a release ready, but this is would solve a lot of peoples issues as well as add superb flexibility.

i think load from url(file/memory/web/...) is useful and not only from filesystem.

my solution:

LoadImageEx(GetDataFromFile("File.png"))
LoadImageEx(GetDataFromMemblock(mID))
LoadImageEx(GetDataFromWWW("http://..."))
LoadSoundEx(...)
LoadMemblockEx(GetDataFromFile("File.png"))
