[Geoprisma-dev] Layer loading problem

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Yves,

Here are some examples of using loadend event on a layer:

I think this is doing exactly what you want:
http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-stop-registering-events-td3911670.html

Some other random ones:

layer.events.register("loadend", layer, function() {
console.log(layer.features.length); });

http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/trunk/openlayers/examples/layerLoadMonitoring.html

Found these in:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source=hp&q=openlayers+event+loadend+example

Hope this helps.
