Loading Screen

GuaveMedia

Hey guys,

my app works yes

But it needs 1-2 seconds to load a level, I want to show up a loading screen, how is this
possible to do?

Thank you ))))

Make an image that says "Loading"

Put it in an actor at the top of your scene (so that it covers all other actors in the scene).

Make its alpha 0 so that it doesn't show up.

When you press the button to go to the next scene, make the actor's alpha 1 so that the "Loading" shows up, then after .1 seconds go to your next scene as normal.

Cheers,

The Loading image in level 1 or level 2 in this case?

Can you tell me exactly what to do in which level, I don't understand it completely

thank you

Just additional Info, I have the level menu to select between 15 levels, and when switching to one I'd like to have a loading screen

thx

Okay but in case of this a have to create a new attribute or?

Because how should I say that touch is pressed change alpha to 1 otherwise?

3xL

it the actions. you do

-when touch is pressed
change attribute- self.color-alpha-1

its easier to just make the "loading" image spawn on the previous scene (scene you are coming from)

GuaveMedia

in the actions of the loading image or?

but then my scene doesn't get loaded while loading screen is showed or?

Make a boolean attribute called 'Loading'

When you press your button to go to the next scene, have a rule in it that says:

When touch is pressed
Change attribute 'Loading' to true
After.1 seconds change seen to next scene.

Then in the 'Loading image' have a rule that says:
If attribute Loading is true
Change self.alpha to 1
OTHERWISE
Change self.alpha to 0

THEN

In your next scene, put a rule somewhere that says:
Change attribute Loading to false

That should do it.
