How do I set an Observer for Poster.loadStatus?

From the docs (https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/Poster) it states that "loadStatus" is:
"Read-Only - Can be used to track the progress of loading the graphical image file. A typical use of this field is to set an observer so that when the field value changes to ready, an action can be triggered."

I set an observer here on that loadStatus value, but the method is never called.

m.backgroundPoster.ObserveField("loadStatus", backgroundImageProgress)


I'm guessing I'm observing this incorrectly. Any insights?

The second parameter of the observeField() method should be a string. Try this instead:
m.backgroundPoster.ObserveField("loadStatus", "backgroundImageProgress")

Ugh. You're spot on. Works now. :? :? :? :? :?

Too many languages and syntax floating around in the ol' brain. Thank you.
