Load assets only if it is not exist in cache

[Sakthivadivel]

Hi Guys,

                 I have developed a game using phaser.js with two states.Which loads the assets every time when I restart state or go to next level.It leads to memory problem.I want to block loading assets if it is already exist in game cache.How to do check all the assets or available in cache?

Please any one help me.

Thanks,

Sakthi

I'm pretty sure it's the default behaviour of the browsers, not to load an asset that is already in cache. I would say you shouldn't have anything specific to do.

I believe @Sakthivadivel isn't talking about the browser cache, but Phaser's asset cache.
You can use Cache.checkKey() to check for the existence of a key in a cache.

Something like:

game.cache.checkKey(Phaser.Cache.IMAGE, 'enemy')
game.cache.checkKey(Phaser.Cache.SOUND, 'explosion')

The method returns true if the key is found in the cache and false if it's not

Hi Skeptron and aapo ,

                     Thanks,for your reply...You are correct aapo.I don't want to load assets that are already exist in cache.I used the  Cache.checkKey() method you mentioned above and it is working fine.

Thanks a lot,

Sakthi.
