Loader functions add empty string

[jpryne]

Both loader functions:

PLAYGROUND.Application.prototype.loadTexture

&

PLAYGROUND.Application.prototype.loadObject

include the line:

this.loader.add(name);

yet the variable 'name' is defined on line 3374 of playground.js (SoundWebAudioAPI.js) as:

if (alias) name = alias.source;

Why does the Object loader make use of this empty string?

It doesn't make any use of it - it was supposed to help identify failing resource in case of error. You can ignore it. Also I recommend not using my ThreeJS plugins - download playground-base.js and set up ThreeJS as you need it - because it is very simple and much more flexible this way.

Do you want a tutorial how to write a custom loader for playground.js?

Absolutely! Actually, I'm working on a custom loader that traverses a JSON, digging up the point-cloud and face-table, regardless of the data-scheme used for export. Any guidance you can offer would be most helpful, and I'd be happy to offer my code back to the repo, should you think it useful.
