I did change the image loading code to use this. It's now:
- (IBAction)getImage:(id)sender
{
NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:@"
http://www.rccl.com/rc/image/vywebcam.jpg";]];
if (image) {
[voyagerImage setImage:image];
[image release];
} else {
NSLog(@"Could not load image");
}
}
I haven't seen the error message, but it could be just
it's been loading fine this morning. I'd still like to be
able to trap the bad-load.
One this I also did notice - I didn't have the release in
there originally, and I was watching the app using 'top'
in a terminal window. Every time I clicked the button, the
memory would go up. (Remember, Cocoa semi-newbie here) I
guessed that the image was being retained by the Imageview
and that I could release it like I do above. It didn't
crash, and the memory didn't creep up this time, so I
guess I assumed correctly.
(I've read pretty much all the articles on retain-release
and a couple Cocoa books, and understand the concept -
it's just figuring out actually when you should release,
like above yes you need to release the image, but the
string is autoreleased and I don't have to do it
explicitly)
Thanks again!

Nope, it is perfectly ok to do:
NSString *str = @"whatever";
I'm not sure what the original poster's problem might be.
The code looks ok. Are you sure the image you are
downloading isn't corrupt?
You could also try;
NSImage *image = [[NSImage alloc]
initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL
URLWithString@"http://www.rccl.com/rc/image/vywebcam.jpg";]];
The image will then be downloaded from the URL
automatically.
