Just tried using loadBytes() but the console (Edge) says it hasn’t been implemented, and the p5.js file says similar:

0: not yet implemented

p5.prototype.loadBytes = function () {  
// TODO  
throw ‘not yet implemented’;  
};

Is it likely this will be working soon …?

Cheers  
Mark

Maybe … I’ll check that now …

@kll That was the problem … a slightly old version of p5.js …

Many thanks
