Public Properties
 PropertyDefined by
 InheritedauditedSize : Boolean
Indicates whether or not the loader's bytesTotal value has been set by any of the following:
  • Defining an estimatedBytes in the vars object passed to the constructor
  • Calling auditSize() and getting a response (an error is also considered a response)
  • When a LoaderMax instance begins loading, it will automatically force a call to auditSize() for any of its children that don't have an estimatedBytes defined.
LoaderCore
 InheritedautoDispose : Boolean
When autoDispose is true, the loader will be disposed immediately after it completes (it calls the dispose() method internally after dispatching its COMPLETE event).
LoaderCore
 InheritedbytesLoaded : uint
Bytes loaded
LoaderCore
 InheritedbytesTotal : uint
Total bytes that are to be loaded by the loader.
LoaderCore
  content : *
[read-only] A ContentDisplay object (a Sprite) that will contain the remote content as soon as the INIT event has been dispatched.
DisplayObjectLoader
 InheritedhttpStatus : int
The httpStatus code of the loader.
LoaderItem
 InheritedloadTime : Number
The number of seconds that elapsed between when the loader began and when it either completed, failed, or was canceled.
LoaderCore
 Inheritedname : String
A name that you use to identify the loader instance.
LoaderCore
 Inheritedpaused : Boolean
If a loader is paused, its progress will halt and any LoaderMax instances to which it belongs will either skip over it or stop when its position is reached in the queue (depending on whether or not the LoaderMax's skipPaused property is true).
LoaderCore
 Inheritedprogress : Number
A value between 0 and 1 indicating the overall progress of the loader.
LoaderCore
  rawContent : *
[read-only] The raw content that was successfully loaded into the content ContentDisplay Sprite which varies depending on the type of loader and whether or not script access was denied while attempting to load the file:
  • ImageLoader with script access granted: flash.display.Bitmap
  • ImageLoader with script access denied: flash.display.Loader
  • SWFLoader with script access granted: flash.display.DisplayObject (the swf's root)
  • SWFLoader with script access denied: flash.display.Loader (the swf's root cannot be accessed because it would generate a security error)
DisplayObjectLoader
 Inheritedrequest : URLRequest
The URLRequest associated with the loader.
LoaderItem
 InheritedscriptAccessDenied : Boolean
If the loaded content is denied script access (because of security sandbox restrictions, a missing crossdomain.xml file, etc.), scriptAccessDenied will be set to true.
LoaderItem
 Inheritedstatus : int
Integer code indicating the loader's status; options are LoaderStatus.READY, LoaderStatus.LOADING, LoaderStatus.COMPLETE, LoaderStatus.PAUSED, and LoaderStatus.DISPOSED.
LoaderCore
 Inheritedurl : String
The url from which the loader should get its content.
LoaderItem
 Inheritedvars : Object
An object containing optional configuration details, typically passed through a constructor parameter.

Constructor
DisplayObjectLoader
 Inherited
addEventListener(type:String, listener:Function, useCapture:Boolean = false, priority:int = 0, useWeakReference:Boolean = false):void
LoaderCore
 Inherited
auditSize():void
Attempts loading just enough of the content to accurately determine the bytesTotal in order to improve the accuracy of the progress property.
LoaderItem
 Inherited
cancel():void
If the loader is currently loading (status is LoaderStatus.LOADING), it will be canceled immediately and its status will change to LoaderStatus.READY.
LoaderCore
 Inherited
dispose(flushContent:Boolean = false):void
Disposes of the loader and releases it internally for garbage collection.
LoaderCore
 Inherited
load(flushContent:Boolean = false):void
Loads the loader's content, optionally flushing any previously loaded content first.
LoaderCore
 Inherited
pause():void
Pauses the loader immediately.
LoaderCore
 Inherited
prioritize(loadNow:Boolean = true):void
Immediately prioritizes the loader inside any LoaderMax instances that contain it, forcing it to the top position in their queue and optionally calls load() immediately as well.
LoaderCore
 Inherited
resume():void
Unpauses the loader and resumes loading immediately.
LoaderCore
 Inherited
toString():String
Returns information about the loader, like its type, its name, and its url (if it has one).
LoaderCore
 Inherited
unload():void
Removes any content that was loaded and sets bytesLoaded back to zero.

Dispatched when the loader fails.LoaderCore
 Inherited
ioError
Dispatched when the loader experiences an IO_ERROR while loading or auditing its size.LoaderItem
 Inherited
open
Dispatched when the loader starts loading.LoaderCore

progress
Dispatched each time the bytesLoaded value changes while loading (indicating progress).LoaderCore
Property detail
contentproperty
content:*  [read-only]

A ContentDisplay object (a Sprite) that will contain the remote content as soon as the INIT event has been dispatched. This ContentDisplay can be accessed immediately; you do not need to wait for the content to load.

Implementation
    public function get content():*
rawContentproperty 
rawContent:*  [read-only]

The raw content that was successfully loaded into the content ContentDisplay Sprite which varies depending on the type of loader and whether or not script access was denied while attempting to load the file:

Implementation
    public function get rawContent():*
Constructor detail
DisplayObjectLoader()constructor
public function DisplayObjectLoader(urlOrRequest:*, vars:Object = null)

Constructor

Parameters
urlOrRequest:* — The url (String) or URLRequest from which the loader should get its content
 
vars:Object (default = null) — An object containing optional parameters like estimatedBytes, name, autoDispose, onComplete, onProgress, onError, etc. For example, {estimatedBytes:2400, name:"myImage1", onComplete:completeHandler}.
