[OpenLayers-Users] RegisterEvents - registering prior to layer loaded

[Andrew de Klerk]

Hi all

I will try and explain this as best as I can. I have a register events
function to display a progress indicator. I call this function from my
mapinit function like this:
------------------------------------
<....code before....>
registerEvents(labels);   
registerEvents(mainmap); 
	
mlayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector( "Measure");

map.addLayers([mainmap,labels]);
map.addLayer(mlayer);
	    
<...code after...>
------------------------------------
Here is my register events function:
------------------------------------
function registerEvents(layer) {
        layer.logEvent = function(event) {
        eventsLog.innerHTML =ajaxloadimg2 + this.name + ": " + event;    
        eventsLog.style.display = "block";
    }
            
    layer.events.register("loadstart", layer, function() {
        this.logEvent("Loading..");
    });
     
    layer.events.register("tileloaded", layer, function() {
        this.logEvent("Loading... " + this.numLoadingTiles + " left.");
    });
            
    layer.events.register("loadend", layer, function() {
        alert("test"); 
        this.logEvent("Loaded");
        eventsLog.style.display = "none" 
    });
 }
----------------------------------

My register events function gets called, and works well on initial zooms.
However, as one zooms in further (after a couple of zoom clicks) the
"loadend" event gets called immediately, prior to the map getting redrawn. I
have tested this with the alert shown in the function above. What this
results in is that my progress indicator div gets hidden immediately prior
to the map being reloaded. Any ideas why this is so?, and I hope this makes
sense.

I am using OL 2.6

Thanks
