[OpenLayers-Users] Way to detect if layer is done loading?

[Paul Spencer]

Brad,

you should be able to do something like this:

/* for each layer in onload: */
layer.events.register('loadstart', loadStart);
layer.events.register('loadend', loadEnd);


/* global functions/vars */
var layersLoading = 0;
function loadStart() {
   if (layersLoading == 0) {
     showLoadingImage();
   }
   layersLoading++;
}

function loadEnd() {
   layersLoading--;
   if (layersLoading == 0) {
     hideLoadingImage();
   }
}

this is rudimentary, untested ...

Cheers

Paul
