[OpenLayers-Users] Zooming to center of a KML layer after loading it - request for assistance

[Andres Deparis]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to be able to zoom or Pan (zooming first) to the center of the
data from my kml file that I load periodically. But, in my case, I can load
the data (which consist of one point at this moment) and then of course to
be able to center to that point. I have searched and found out that perhaps
my method does not work because I am zooming into the data but not waiting
for the data to be fully loaded.

Below is my piece of code. Thank you in advance for the advice.

var map;

function init() {


       map = new OpenLayers.Map({
        div: "map",
        //projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),
        units: "m",
        maxResolution: 156543.0339,
        maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(
                 119.715815, -0.771406, 97.637881  ,7.640186
        )
,panDuration: 250    });

 styleMap = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({'default':{
                        //label : "${th}",
                        label : "MYdog",
                        fontColor: "${fontColor}",
                        fontSize: "16px",
                        labelAlign: "${labelAlign}",
                        pointRadius: 2,
                        labelXOffset : 0,
                        labelYOffset : 20
                    }});

        var osm = new OpenLayers.Layer.OSM();
        //var vlayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector( "Editable" );
        var MyKML = new OpenLayers.Layer.GML("KML", "dog.kml",
               {
                projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"),
                //displayProjection: new
OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),

                format: OpenLayers.Format.KML,
                formatOptions: {
                  extractStyles: true,
                  extractAttributes: true,
                  maxDepth: 1
                },
                styleMap: styleMap
               });

   map.addLayers([osm, MyKML]);
   map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoomBar());
   map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.Navigation({dragPanOptions:
{enableKinetic: true}}));
   map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());

//    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.MouseToolbar());
//    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.Navigation());
//    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher());
//    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.PanZoom());
//    map.addControl(new OpenLayers.Control.EditingToolbar();
//    map.addControl(OpenLayers.Control.EditingToolbar(vlayer));


    map.setCenter(new OpenLayers.LonLat(101.587411,
3.021547).transform(new OpenLayers.Projection ("EPSG:4326"),
map.getProjectionObject()
),
15);


//map.zoomToExtent( MyKML.GetExtent() );

window.setInterval(raingaugeRefreshData, 10000, MyKML);


}

function raingaugeRefreshData(layer)
{
//setting loaded to false unloads the layer//


                layer.loaded = false;
                //setting visibility to true forces a reload of the layer//
                layer.setVisibility(true);
                //the refresh will force it to get the new KML data//
                layer.setUrl('MyDOG.kml?_salt='+Math.random());
                //- <3 from Thqr -//
         map.zoomToExtent( MyKML.maxExtent );
