loader

[fire7side]

I'm having trouble, perhaps it's with my understanding of javascript, but when I use the .load(functionName) it works.  But how do I add perameters?  If I add parenthesis to the function name, it quits working.  Is it just that you can't add parameters or is it some js convention?  I came across the same thing with requestAnimationFrame().  If I add parameters, I get all sorts of problems.

If you write functionName() as the argument to load then JavaScript calls the function (immediately upon executing the line) and supplies whatever is returned by functionName() as the argument to load().

You probably want to use bind() [ https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_objects/Function/bind ] or create an anonymous function with the arguments and call to your actual function baked in eg.

.load( function() { functionName("foo"); } );

OK, thanks.
