README

        
BulkLoader is a minimal library written in Actionscript 3 (AS3) that aims to make loading and managing complex loading requirements easier and faster. BulkLoader takes a more dynamic, less architecture heavy approach. Few imports and making heavy use of AS3's dynamic capabilities, BulkLoader has a one-liner feel that doesn't get in your way.

BulkLoader hides the complexity of loading different data types in AS3 and provides a unified interface for loading, accessing and events notification for different types of content.

This library is licensed under an open source MIT license.

Features:                                                                 

  * Connection pooling.

  *  Unified interface for different loading types.

  *  Unified progress notification.

  *  Events for individual items and as groups.

  *  Priority 

  *  Stop and resuming individually as well as in bulk.

  *  Cache management.

  *  Statistics about loading (latency, speed, average speed).

  *  Various kinds on progress indication: ratio (items loaded / items to load), bytes , and weighted percentage. 

  *  Configurable number of retries.

  *  Configurable logging. 

  *  Various assets types (XML, NetStreams, Swfs, Images, Sound, Text Files)

Design goals:                        

  *  Minimal imports.

  *  Few method to learn.

  *  Consistent interface, regardless of content type.

BulkLoader gracefully handles progress notification in these use cases: 

  *  Few connections to open: bytes total can be used instantly.

  *  Many connections opened: progress by ratio

  *  Many connections opened for data of widely varying sizes: progress by weight.
