loading

Getting Started Newbie Questions

hi

I have a question: how is loading of assets processed by Corona?

example

I load some images through the entire app life cycle. Are all images loaded at the launch time? Or maybe they are loaded when i invoke newImage function? How to process preloading (with progress bar)?

Thanks in advance

they are loaded when you call display.newImage. if an image is already loaded and you load it again it reuses the texture (it doesn’t load it twice)

i don’t think there is any kind of preloaded event. it’s quite instantaneous, although if you are loading a lot maybe you could check your texture memory on a timer/enterframe, and if it’s stopped changing over a few frames then it’s probably finished loading.
