LoaderClass

Package:
Class:
Inheritance:
biz.flashscript.utils
public class LoaderClass
N/A
The LoaderClass class allows loading movies and bitmaps, all objects usually loaded with the Loader class and allows transferring variables over event listeners. Although these variables are optional they need to be added as function parameters to the function listening to the event (see Example). Use the constructor new LoaderClass() to create a new LoaderClass object and add parameters as desired.
