TimeSlider Wait for Layers to Load

deleted-user-4RbHy6ryQ4a8 — Thu, 25 Jul 2013 16:13:58 GMT

Currently, the TimeSlider does not wait for layers to load before advancing. Besides setting a large thumbMovingRate, is there a way to prevent advancement before all layers have loaded?

Here was my solution. When the map starts loading, set the thumbMovingRate high, when the map is done loading, return thumbMovingRate to normal:

        if (this._isVisible && this._timeSlider.playing){
            if (!this._playShortCircuited){
                this._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(999999999);

                var self = this;
                this._playShortCircuitStartSignal = this._esriMap.on('update-start', function(){
                    self._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(999999999);
                });
                this._playShortCircuitEndSignal = this._esriMap.on('update-end', function(){
                    self._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(self._thumbMovingRate);
                });

                this._playShortCircuited = true;
            }
        } else {
            if (this._playShortCircuited){
                this._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(this._thumbMovingRate);
                this._playShortCircuitEndSignal.remove();
                this._playShortCircuitStartSignal.remove();
                this._playShortCircuitEndSignal = null;
                this._playShortCircuitStartSignal = null;
                this._playShortCircuited = false;
            }
        }
