ResourceLoader

Inherits: Object

A singleton for loading resource files.

Description

A singleton used to load resource files from the filesystem.

It uses the many ResourceFormatLoader classes registered in the engine (either built-in or from a plugin) to load files into memory and convert them to a format that can be used by the engine.

Note: You have to import the files into the engine first to load them using load. If you want to load Images at run-time, you may use Image.load. If you want to import audio files, you can use the snippet described in AudioStreamMP3.data.
