Player graphic sometimes shows on the board, and sometimes does not load

[davidakimbo]

We have an initialize function that loads two graphic files. A grid bitmap image and a bird.

From how we staggered the functions, the grid should load first and then the bird graphic on top. We even put the loadBirdGraphic inside the loadGridGraphic and updated the stage accordingly.

As it currently runs, the bird does not load at all every couple of reloads and we don't know where the issue lies.

Code Snippet:
function loadGridGraphics() {
background = new createjs.Bitmap(backgroundImage);
stage.addChild(background);
setTimeout(stage.update(), 50);
loadBirdGraphics();
stage.update();
}

function loadBirdGraphics() {
bird = new createjs.Bitmap(birdImage);
bird.x = startRow;
bird.y = startCol;
stage.addChild(bird);
stage.update();
}

We call loadGridGraphics at some point after the DOM has loaded.

Could you push your most recent code and provide the specific branch you are working on?

The latest code is pushed on the code_lessons_functionality branch and the code is from 'application.js.erb' in app/assets/javascript
