Really useful class for loading in multiply images one after another, easy and effective to use. “The QueueLoader Class is a “wrapper” for the MovieClipLoader Class which makes managing the loading of multiple files more convenient. You can add files to a loading queue, remove items from the queue, pause and resume loading etc., and there are many events that allow you to exactly monitor the loading process. By using more than one instance of the QueueLoader you can realize complex loading scenarios where you have for example one QueueLoader for the current loading process and another one that preloads items in the background. You can give one queue the priority by pausing the other one and so on…” http://www.betriebsraum.de/blog/downloads/

Hi there. Your blog and others have mentioned that Betriebsraum’s QueueLoader can pause current downloads in the queue and reprioritise them, but I cannot find any documentation online about that. Even the one on Hydrotik doesn’t have documentation about this.
I’m not going to do a “Daily WTF” and ask for “teh codez” but I would like to know if someone has information on these features, thanks. :)

OK, typical, I found some documentation (I’m still relatively new to Flash) just after I posted this. Unfortunately “pause” means “stop” as resuming a paused queue starts from the beginning of the downloading item instead of where it was paused. Oh well.
