Loading animation called from AbstractElement constructor() not displayed

[RASH]

Hi Florian!
If I understand correctly the AbstractElement class and constructor() function there, before an element such as image is loaded, the loading animation ('_loading') should be displayed, but it actually not displayed neither in my code or in your demo.
I wonder if this has to do with the fact that at this step (before the image is loaded), the element's width & height are 0.

Could you help to make this _loading displayed? (no problem with the library btw)


Thanks,

Rash

Hi Rash,

nice timing, I just noticed that myself, and am at the moment having a look at that exact problem.

I think I also know why this is the case - not due to the sizes, but because the element itself is not actually part of the scene graph (has not been added using addChild/addChildAt), because at the moment this only happens when it's completely loaded. So this bug is probably in there since I introduced dynamic un/loading of pages...

Think I'll have it fixed in the next version.

// Also: moved to bug reports, as this is a bug.

OK, thanks.

Till the next version is available, one can still place the loading animation on the containing page, by replacing:

addChild(_loading)

with

_even ? _page.pageEven.addChildAt(_loading,0) : _page.pageOdd.addChildAt(_loading,0);

not exactly the same, but still useful (at least in my case)

Fixed it, will be in the next release... which will be in the next few days; just need to update documentation and such.

It's already in the current svn, if you're interested (which is the current "release candidate" so to speak ).

// Closed, fixed as of 1.32
