easel JS security restrictions on localhost machine

Question

I\'m learning EaselJS and I\'m getting this weird error:

Unable to get image data from canvas because the canvas has been tainted by cross-origin data. easel

Answer 1

EaselJS needs to read pixel values to determine mouse collision. I recommend using a local server like MAMP (osx) or XAMPP (win) to do local testing.

There are some good ones as well. Internally, we use Grunt for development, and it has a Connect module that provides the same functionality. It requires a bit more setup, but has a ton of other capabilities like code minification, sass compiling, browser auto-reload, etc.
