how to fire event when getContent complete?

[mspanish]

Hello guys! I am having a bit of trouble timing something, as I'm not sure how to listen for a getContent = completely loaded event.

 

Here is my code adding the image to the stage:

 

var thumb:ContentDisplay = LoaderMax.getContent(thumbnailBigArray);

 

I need another event to fire ONLY when the rawContent is available.

 

thanks a ton in advance!

I need another event to fire ONLY when the rawContent is available.

 

have you tried putting an onInit listener on the ImageLoader?

 

onInit : Function - A handler function for LoaderEvent.INIT events which are called when the image has downloaded and has been placed into the ContentDisplay Sprite. Make sure your onInit function accepts a single parameter of type LoaderEvent (com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent).

something like:

 

var someImage:ImageLoader = new ImageLoader("image.jpg", {name:"fred", onInit:initHandler});

I don't know if I am following your question totally.

 

getContent() doesn't have any events associated with it and doesn't handle adding objects to the stage. its just a convenience method for getting a reference to a particular loader's content.

 

i imagine that once you do:

 

var thumb:ContentDisplay = LoaderMax.getContent(thumbnailBigArray[i]);

 

you are following it up with something like:

 

addChild(thumb);

perhaps what you are looking for is the AS3 event ADDED_TO_STAGE?

 

thumb.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, doSomething);

 

the above code would have to run before the thumb is added to the stage.
