Re: [Laszlo-user] abort resource load mid-load?

Mon, 25 Sep 2006 13:48:33 -0700

Although it is poorly documented, the official function to call to abort a setSource is unload().

Note that because of a bug/design error this call will actually only work right if the you have made no intervening requests to the loader.  In other words, for unload to cancel the loading of a image you must not have made any subsequent calls to setSource.

Someday I hope to make some significant improvements to this area of the code.  In the meantime, if you're depending heavily on this area, I suggest you get very familiar with LzMakeLoad.as, LzMediaLoader.as, and LzLoader.as.

ERROR: bad url: can't form uri from null 



  
As an alternative, how about:

v1.setSource("http://blah/1x1.jpg");
    

good idea -- but that doesn't seem to work.  Looks like the resource 
completes loading.  I had some examples in Fiddler that seemed to halt the 
http connection, but now that's not happening.  Huh.

I just realized, an even better idea would be to do setResource("small")
to some compiled-in resource.  But that doesn't kill the connection 
either.  Bummer.
