BabylonJS Execute Script from External File

Question

I'm having a (simple) issue, but I have no idea how to fix it. Essentially, every tutorial I have come across for Babylon puts all of the Javascript code inside < script > tags in the main HTML page.

However, I would like to have all of my Javascript code inside a separate file. I have tried every way of loading it as I could think of, though I am a novice at Javascript (I am decent at C++, and I can see the similarities); yet I was unable to make it load. (It works fine when called from the HTML page itself).

Does anyone know what (if anything) I can do in order to be able to load my scripts from external files, and still get everything to work?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

2 options:

• register to the DOMContentLoaded event in your external JS file

• reference your JS file with the tag at the end of the HTML page

  You can find a sample in one of my tutorials here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/davrous/archive/2014/11/18/understanding-collisions-amp-physics-by-building-a-cool-webgl-babylon-js-demo-with-oimo-js.aspx

Enjoy and thanks for using Babylon.js! :)
