Question about bitmap on load callback

[Heartbreak61]

Hi, guys
 
Today I tried to mess with Window Status. I tried to add a standing picture for each actor. I put it directly on refresh method (which was worked on RM VXAce). My problem is, it doesn't show any picture until I move to the next actor's status, and back.
 
When I tried to inspect it using ImageManager.isReady, it display false as if the picture hasn't been fully loaded. I feel that this is weird because actor's face, actor's character graphics, and other images are fully loaded. My workaround is just to add a callback function when the images has been fully loaded.

My question is:

Is there any "more direct" way to show picture (like RMVX Ace) rather than using callback (like this)? Or did I miss something like character images preload step?

I'm looking for any advice on this.

Spoiler

(function() {'use strict'// ==================================================================================// Game_Actor	var _Game_Actor_initMembers = Game_Actor.prototype.initMembers;	Game_Actor.prototype.initMembers = function() {		_Game_Actor_initMembers.call(this);		this._standingPicture = '';	};		var _Game_Actor_initImages = Game_Actor.prototype.initImages;	Game_Actor.prototype.initImages = function() {		_Game_Actor_initImages.call(this);		var actor = this.actor();		this._standingPicture = actor.meta.standing_pic || '';	};		Game_Actor.prototype.pictureName = function(){		return this._standingPicture;	};// ==================================================================================// Window_Status	var _Window_Status_refresh = Window_Status.prototype.refresh;	Window_Status.prototype.refresh = function() {		_Window_Status_refresh.call(this);		if (this._actor) {			this.loadActorPicture(this._actor); 		}	};		Window_Status.prototype.loadActorPicture = function(actor) {		var filename = actor.pictureName();		if (filename == '') {return;}		var bitmap = ImageManager.loadPicture(filename);		bitmap.addLoadListener(function() {			SceneManager._scene._statusWindow.drawActorPicture(bitmap);		});	};			Window_Status.prototype.drawActorPicture = function(bitmap, x, y) {		var pw = bitmap.width;		var ph = bitmap.height;		var ww = Graphics.boxWidth;		var wh = Graphics.boxHeight;		var x = x || ww - pw;		var y = y || wh - ph;		this.contents.blt(bitmap, 0, 0, pw, ph, x, y);	};})(); // Don't touch this!

This is no workaround, but the intended way to deal with Ajax loading. Your other option would be to use the Sprite class, instead, which internally handles the callback.

I see then.

But what about actor's picture and character graphic? I think it just use bitmap.blt and it showed up instantly without using callback.

Please post the code that you're refering to or at least the filename and line number in the base scripts.
