Answer 1

imageNamed: is used to retrieve images that are stored in your application's bundle as resources. If you want to load an image using a url, then you will need to download the image and then use imageWithData:

To download the image and get its data, use NSURLConnection. There is some good sample code provided by apple that will show you how to do this.
