Bulk Loader for Action Script.

Professional No comments »
My old colleague Jake Brindle let me in on a cool package called bulk loader for as3.

http://code.google.com/p/bulk-loader/

I'm just checking out its usefulness here. Its a bit bulky for banners but for microsites and my portfolio should be ideal to centralise my loading of external assets.

EXAMPLE USEAGE

package at.landed.view.components
{
import flash.display.Sprite;
import br.com.stimuli.loading.BulkLoader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.display.BitmapData;

public class Image00 extends Sprite
{

var loader : BulkLoader = new BulkLoader("main-site"); // creates a BulkLoader instance with a name of "main-site", that can be used to retrieve items without having a reference to this instance

public function Image00()
{
loader.add("images/me.png", { id:"me" } );
loader.get("me").addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onBackgroundLoaded)
loader.start();
}
private function onBackgroundLoaded(e:Event):void
{
addChild(loader.getBitmap("me"))
}
}

}
