Loading vector only for specific zoom using OpenLayers?

Question

I have a map with 4-5 vectors. At the beginning, the loading of the web application is very very slow, but was fine before I've added a new one vector, which is used only for little zooms.

Is it possible to launch the loading of a vector only when the specific zoom is reached?

I'm currently using OpenLayers 2.2, and as a beginner in OpenLayers, the only way I found to load a vector was like this:

var olmap = new ol.Map({
 layers: [
 new ol.layer.Tile({
 source: new ol.source.OSM({
 url: 'php/map/getOsm.php?z={z}&x={x}&y={y}'
 })
 }), vector, vector_country, vector_countryName, vector_term, vector_port, vector_ramp
 ],
 renderer: ol.RendererHint.CANVAS,
 overlays: [overlay],
 controls: ol.control.defaults().extend([
 new ol.control.FullScreen(), new app.CustomExport()
 ]),
 view: mapView
});

---

That was quite easy :

olmap.addLayer(nameofthelayer);

This may or may not help you. You could try the Map zoomend event and then do what you desire when the zoom level changes.

MAP.events.register("zoomend", this, function(e) {
var zoom = MAP.getZoom();
 // do something
});
