check if image is loaded

[dutzzzu]

Hi,

 

I have an array of images which i want to load in an application at different moments in time. The thing is that they might already be loaded, so i want to check if they are loaded already to not use a lot of memory.

 

Can you please tell me how i can check if a image is loaded taking into account that i have the image's url ?

 

Thank you !

you can check any loader's status with

 

LoaderMax.getLoader(urlOfAssetYouWantToCheck).status

 

a status of 2 would mean it has completed loading. read the following for more info:

By the way, ImageLoader automatically does this sort of checking for you. If it finds an already-loaded ImageLoader with a duplicate url, it will simply copy that ImageLoader's BitmapData into a new Bitmap and finish immediately. Very minimal memory usage (since it is pointing to the same BitmapData) and it doesn't even request anything from the web/server/browser. Just make sure you're using the latest version of LoaderMax because that feature was added back in October 2011.
