Kyle,
There's probably a better way, but this works:
in onLoad, when you call the load function, you can use the callback
to
execute a function showLatestBubble thus:
tl.loadJSON("sourcedata.js", function(json, url)
{eventSource.loadJSON(json, url); showLatestBubble()});
Then after the onLoad function define:
function showLatestBubble(){
evt_count = tl.getBand(0).getEventSource().getCount();
tl.getBand(0).showBubbleForEvent('e' + evt_count);
}
I wanted to be able to do this myself, so I worked something out;
however,
my js skills aren't much, so if anybody has critiques or suggestions
on
this method, I hope you'll share them with us.
The timeline api makes all sorts of things possible, but much depends
upon
being able to identify an eventID. Is there a way to derive the ID of
an
event from its other properties? Is there a simple way, for example,
to
get the eventID knowing only the event's startDate? Or, search the
EventSource for an event having a user-defined property and get that
event's ID?
