I have a button entity and 3 other entities added to the world. Each (non-button) entity’s graphic property has an Image object assigned to it which contains an embedded PNG. Clicking the button will change what each entity is displaying, randomly choosing a new embedded PNG. The only way I know how to do this is to initialize the Image objects (so I can pass a different PNG to the constructor) every time the button is clicked. I’m noticing through the console that MEM: keeps increasing every time the button is clicked. Is there a way to change the bitmap in an Image object, instead of re-initializing, or am I just going about this wrong?
