# PreloadJS

PreloadJS is a library to make working with asset preloading easier. It provides a consistent API for loading different

file types, automatic detection of XHR (XMLHttpRequest) availability with a fallback to tag-base loading, composite

progress events, and a plugin model to assist with preloading in other libraries such as [SoundJS](http://www.createjs.com/soundjs/).

## Example

```javascript

var queue = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);

queue.on("fileload", handleFileComplete);

queue.loadFile('http://createjs.com/assets/images/png/createjs-badge-dark.png');

function handleFileComplete(event) {

	document.body.appendChild(event.result);

}

```
