delay load progress for LoaderMax

[Guest RebuiltJorge]

I have a loaderMax instance that loads ,xml, images, and swfs, my problem is that the "onProgress" function doesn't get called till 5-7 seconds after the load() method gets called, any ideas

 

grandLoader = new LoaderMax( { onComplete:loadComplete, onProgress:onProgress } );

grandLoader.append( new XMLLoader( $list.@url.toString() , { name:$list.@name }) );

grandLoader.append(new ImageLoader( $list.@url.toString() , { name:$list.@name } ) );

grandLoader.append(new SWFLoader( swf.@url.toString() , { name:swf.@name } ) );

grandLoader.load()

 

function onProgress(){

//doesn't get called till about 5 seconds after grandLoader.load() gets called

}

are you doing an auditSize() ? its possible that 5 seconds is the time that each file is being requested to figure out how much needs to load.

you can read about his feature here:

 

http://www.greensock.com/as/docs/tween/ ... auditSize()

 

also read tip 8 http://www.greensock.com/loadermax-tips/

 

in the interactive demo, clear out the estimated bytes for each child asset and select the auditSize option. you will se a live preview of the files being audited.

 

also read tips 9 and 10 on the same page.

 

I'm pretty sure that should clear things up.

 

Enjoy LoaderMax,

Thanks, I tried this

 

LoaderMax.defaultAuditSize = false;

 

and

 

grandLoader = new LoaderMax( { onComplete:loadComplete, onProgress:onProgress, auditSize:false } );

 

but I'm still having a delay load, grandLoader is the only LoaderMax instance in the game, any ideas

strange, I'm out of ideas, but perhaps more info could help.

 

does you XMLLoader have any LoaderItems in it?

 

when the progress does display does it start at 0? or does it jump to say 10% immediately?

 

I'd experiement with putting an onOpen eventListener on you grandLoader and tracing out and "open" message.

and also having a simple trace in onProgress (which you probably already have)

 

I'm suggesting this just to narrow down exactly where the delay might becoming from and perhaps rule out any other failures in how the progress is being displayed.

 

Is it possible you just have a slow server?

 

Furthermore, I would suggest testing

in Safari: open the activity window and you can see when requests are being made. if auditing is still taking place you will see loading progress show up and then report that they have failed.

 

in Chrome: do an "inspect element" and watch the "network" tab to see when assets actually are requested.
