Different onComplete in same loader

[mika 0 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi

 

I'm not so used to LoaderMax yet, and i'm wondering whats the best way to do this :

 

(pseudo code)

 

queue = new LoaderMax()

queue.append(name:"img1")

queue.append(name:"img2")

 

onCompleteHandler(e){

if(img1)

...

if(img2)

...

 

How to distinct each separate img in a single onCompleteHandler function ? Or should I use different event function ?

Whats best practice ?

 

Thanks

Sure, you can use the same function. Just use the LoaderEvent's target property to distinguish which loader the event pertains to. Kinda like:

 

var queue:LoaderMax = new LoaderMax();
queue.append( new ImageLoader("1.jpg", {name:"img1"}) );
queue.append( new ImageLoader("2.jpg", {name:"img2"}) );
queue.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.CHILD_COMPLETE, completeHandler);
queue.load();

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   if (event.target.name == "img1") {
       //do stuff
   } else if (event.target.name == "img2") {
       //do stuff
   }
}

 

And by the way, you could attach a COMPLETE listener to each ImageLoader directly if you wanted to instead of listening to the CHILD_COMPLETE on the LoaderMax. I just used CHILD_COMPLETE because it was less code.

 

Oh, and by the way, if you don't want to name the loaders, you could check if (event.target.url == "1.jpg") instead (basically use the url instead of the name). Lots of options.

Perfect, i was missing the queue.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.CHILD_COMPLETE, completeHandler); syntax, and

trace("loadername: "+event.target.name); was returning the LoaderMax instance name (useless)

 

Thanks a lot !
