PROBLEM: availableAnimation doesnt return any animation.

[phovorka]

Hi,

i have a problem with detecting animation . Even if i have GLB file with animation. "availableAnimation" returns length 0. Is there any issue?

let animations = modelViewer.availableAnimations;
let numberOfAnimations = animations.length;

console.log(animations);
if (numberOfAnimations) {
animToolbar.style.display = "block";
} else {
animToolbar.style.display = "none";
}

Did you forget to wait for the async "load" event?

async is not solving this issue (i tried with DOMContentLoaded) . INTERESTING: once i load model with HTML attribut src it works fine, but when i load model with JS (modelViewer.src) it doesnt work ..... hmmm but i need to load it via JS

No, you specifically need our load event: https://modelviewer.dev/docs/index.html#entrydocs-loading-events-load
