Problem loading LoaderMax XML node on demand

[ggritmon 0 Likes (Newbie)]

I have an XMLLoader which loads an XML containing 2 LoaderMax objects, one with load="true" and one with load="false".

 

When the XMLLoader triggers onComplete, I start my app and want to request the second LoaderMax to start. When I do this, however, the assets never seem to start loading.

 

Am I calling things correctly?

 

// XML
<GameAssets>

<LoaderMax name="Subload" load="false" childrenVars="autoPlay:false">
	<VideoLoader url="videos/Main/M1.f4v" name="M1MainAnimation" autoDispose="false" />
</LoaderMax>
</GameAssets>

 

// AS3
private function _onLoadComplete(e:LoaderEvent):void
{
  trace("ASSETS LOADED");

  var subLoader:LoaderMax = LoaderMax.getLoader("Subload");
  subLoader.vars = { onProgress:onSubloadProgress }
  subLoader.load();
}
private function onSubloadProgress(e:LoaderEvent):void
{
  trace("THIS NEVER HAPPENS?");
}

The problem is this line:

subLoader.vars = { onProgress:onSubloadProgress }

 

The vars object is really only parsed in the constructor - you can't just add/replace properties after the instance is created (well, you can but they'll be ignored). The solution is to simply use the addEventListener() method to add your listener(s), like:

 

subLoader.addEventListener(LoaderEvent.PROGRESS, onSubloadProgress);

This worked like a charm. Thanks!
