progresive loading

[chao]

Hi Nick,

 I am a new user for time map and have some question about progressive loading

1. does progressive loading must be have a remote service like all the url things? I am a beginner of javascript and almost know nothing about php, so I just wandering  is it possible to load the data locally like:

tm = TimeMap.init({

    mapId: "map",               // Id of map div element (required)

    timelineId: "timeline",     // Id of timeline div element (required)

        datasets: [

{

            type: "basic",

                options: {

                    items: items,

                    infoTemplate: items.infoTemplate,

                    // use the transformFunction to add the theme before loading

                    url: "mydata.json",

                                        start: "2012-03-17",  

	dataMinDate: "2004-10-15",
	interval: 10368000000,
	// function to turn date into string appropriate for service
	formatDate: function(d) {
	return TimeMap.util.formatDate(d, 1);
	}

                                       transformFunction: function(item) {

                        //theme for the icon

                        item.options.theme="adaraIconType"+"airport_s"+"-"+parseInt(item.options.Iconindex);

                        return item;

                    }

                }

            }

        ],

        bandIntervals: 'hr'

        

    });

And what's the content  for the json file

is that like:

{

{obj1},

{obj2},

{obj3},

....

}
