v3 Loader - accessing the 'keys'

[Flake]

Hello!

 

I've got a question about the v3 assetloader/resourceloader:

After loading an asset like such:

var loader = PIXI.loader;loader.add('img',"assets/image.jpg");

.. can I access the resource with (what I assume is ) the key?

 

Edit: posted it wrong the first time

 

In other words? Is there a way to do this:

var sprite = PIXI.Sprite.fromFrame("img");

..instead of what I'm doing currently:

var sprite = PIXI.Sprite.fromFrame("assets/image.jpg");

appreciated as always!

That is really confusing, because `'img'` is the key but in your example you say you are already using the key...

 

That is extra confusing because using the key in the fromX() convience methods doesn't work...

 

If you want to use the loader, just use the loader:

 

http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/14524-v3-access-cached-texture-by-name/?p=82661

PIXI.loader.add('key', 'someImage.png').load(function (loader, resources) {    // this will log "true", they are all the same:    console.log(PIXI.loader.resources === loader.resources === resources);    // resources is an object keyed by your names, you can get the loaded    // texture like:    console.log(resources.key.texture);});

I might be mis-interpreting your question (very possible!), but...

 

Do you just want to load an image and reference its texture using it's file path name?

You can do that like this:

PIXI.loader  .add("assets/image.jpg")  .load(setup);

(The `key` in Pixi's loader `add` method is optional - all you need is the URL.)

Then, after the image has loaded, create the sprite like this:

function setup() {  var sprite = new PIXI.Sprite.fromImage("assets/image.jpg");}

Thanks @xerver & @d13!

 

Sorry, I switched the code snippets by mistake . But you guys rocked it anyway, I think I've got it.

Just to clarify; I was looking for a less verbose way of accessing the resources after loading them.

 

It appears that these are the shortest ways of doing it:

new PIXI.Sprite.fromImage("assets/image.jpg");              //ornew PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.loader.resources["assetKey"].texture); //ornew PIXI.Sprite(resources["assetKey"].texture);             // through "var resource = PIXI.loader.resource"

cheers

 I was looking for a less verbose way of accessing the resources after loading them.

 

I'm always looking for that too!

Hopefull Pixi v.4 will implement something like this: `var sprite = new PIXI.Sprite("assets/image.jpg")`

... and figure out the texture, key, or frame based on the context.
