ScaleModifier makes sprite flicker

[bos]

I'm playing around and learning while making a splashscreen. I'm aware there's a class SplashScene, but as I'm learning I'm trying all kind of ways.

However, I can't seem to get this one right. The screen is 240x320 (W x H) and splash screen texture is 480x640 so i'm scaling it down to fit the screen. Texture loading etc is working fine, but when the sprite is shown I first see the large texture for 0.1secs, then it gets scaled down. I want it to get scaled down prior shown. Been trying everything, moved the call to attachChild() to onLoadComplete(), using setVisible(false), etc but I see the texture getting scaled down everytime.

Why?

1.   @Override
2.   public Scene onLoadScene() {
3.     this.scene = new Scene();
4.  
5.     // Texture sizes
6.     final int sX = mSplashTextureRegion.getWidth();
7.     final int sY = mSplashTextureRegion.getHeight();
8.  
9.     // Center on camera
10.     final int cX = (CAMERA_WIDTH - sX) / 2;
11.     final int cY = (CAMERA_HEIGHT - sY) / 2;
12.  
13.     // Scale factor according to camera
14.     final float scaleFactor = Math.min((float) CAMERA_WIDTH / sX, (float) CAMERA_HEIGHT / sY);
15.  
16.     // Init sprite
17.     splashScreen = new Sprite(cX, cY, mSplashTextureRegion);
18.     splashScreen.setVisible(false);
19.    
20.     // Rescale the splash-screen to fit the display, move it to (0, 0) and show it.
21.     //splashScreen.registerEntityModifier(new ScaleAtModifier(0.001f, 1.0f, scaleFactor, 0, 0));
22.     splashScreen.registerEntityModifier(new ScaleModifier(0.1f, 1.0f, scaleFactor));
23. //    splashScreen.registerEntityModifier(new SequenceEntityModifier(
24. //        new ScaleModifier(0.1f, 1.0f, scaleFactor),
25. //        new DelayModifier(0.2f)
26. //    ));
27.    
28.     return scene;
29.   }
30.  
31.   @Override
32.   public void onLoadComplete() {
33.     scene.attachChild(splashScreen);
34.     splashScreen.setVisible(true);
35.   }
36.

Rewriting onLoadComplete() into this:

1.   @Override
2.   public void onLoadComplete() {
3.     scene.attachChild(splashScreen);
4.  
5.     mHandler.postDelayed(korv, 1000);
6.   }
7.  
8.   private Runnable korv = new Runnable() {
9.     @Override
10.     public void run() {
11.       splashScreen.setVisible(true);
12.  
13.     }
14.   };

removes the flicker, but that doesn't feel like a good solution.

You must work on floats not integers
