Question

What is the best way to create instance of CCSprite from downloaded image file?

I would like to implement downloadable additional contents in my Cocos2D game.

The way I used is

1. Create UImage from a downloaded image.
2. Create CCTexture2D from UIImage.
3. Create CCSprite from CCTexture2D.

If you know more smart way, please let me know.

Have a look at my tutorial How to Download (only) Modified Files from a Webserver. I used this to build a Cocos2D Webcam Viewer and contains example code for downloading files via NSData, saving it to the documents directory and creating a texture/sprite from the downloaded image file.
