Does a call to load a bitmap image block code execution until the image is loaded?

Basic question, is the call to load a bitmap image such as this:

display.newImageRect( “background.png”,320,480 )

synchronous - ie, does Corona wait until the image is fully loaded into that variable before the next line of code executes?

I have a feeling it does block code execution but I can’t be certain.

Excellent, thanks Matt. That’s actually a good thing (from my perspective anyway)! [import]uid: 9428 topic_id: 2551 reply_id: 7347[/import]
