Preloading movie icons - jomo - 2011-01-16
Hello everyone,
I'm having a "strange" problem.
I modded the cirrus skin a few weeks ago, to build a new wallview with 33 movie icons per page. It works pretty good on my revo, even if it's a bit slow to draw all the icons. But the page draws immediately with all the controls (and empty spaces for the icons), then the icons progressively appear as they're loaded.
In my new skin, i'm trying to build a wallview too, this time with 30 icons per page. The problem is that the page won't draw while all the icons aren't loaded.
The same thing appends when i move down to the next line. Nothing appends while the ten next icons are not fully loaded.
I've read almost all the xml of cirrus and wasn't able to find anything that could help...
Maybe somebody have an idea ?
Thx,
Jomo

Use background loading -
Add <preloaditems>2</preloaditems> to the main panel control and this to all movie image control - <texture background="true"></texture>

you need to define <preloaditems> in your panel container.

Thank u so much ! I already added the preload line but i thought it would be enough...
Never imagined i had to put background=true to the textures...Anyway thx !
