    Why is this in a while loop in all examples in the docs?

    Code (csharp):
    1. function Start () {
    2.     renderer.material.mainTexture = new Texture2D(512, 512);
    3.     while(true) {
    4.         var www = new WWW(url);
    5.        
    6.         yield www;
    7.        
    8.         www.LoadImageIntoTexture(renderer.material.mainTexture);
    9.     }
    10. }
    If the code waits for the yield.. what's the while loop for? and how is it passed a false to break the endless loop?

    The idea is that the texture is coming from a web cam that keeps on changing.
    So you basically get an animated view of the web cam in 3D. Thats what the while loop is for. If you only want to download the image, just remove the while loop.
