Property detail

lastLibraryName

property

lastLibraryName:String [read-only]

The last libraryName that was used to register an object.

This is useful for when you don't neccessarily have a libraryName available, but you know that the librayName you need was the last asset registered in the AssetManager.

Implementation
public static function get lastLibraryName():String

Example
Using the lastLibraryName property.

 
   var am:AssetManager=AssetManager.gi();
   addChild(am.getBitmap(am.lastLibraryName)); //assuming you know the last asset was a bitmap

Method detail

addAsset

()

method

public static function addAsset(libraryName:String, obj:String, source:* = null):void

Parameters

	`libraryName:String` — The item id.

	`obj:String` — The loaded asset object.

	`source:*` (default = `null`)

dispose

()

method

public static function dispose():void

Purge all assets from the library. The AssetManager is still usable after a dispose - just the assets are disposed of.

getAsset

()

method

public static function getAsset(libraryName:String):*

Get any stored asset.

Parameters

libraryName:String — The library name used when the asset was registered.

Returns

*

getBitmap

()

method

public static function getBitmap(libraryName:String, smooth:Boolean = true):Bitmap

Get a Bitmap.

This returns a bitmap in the current appliction domain. If preloading is loaded into the same application domain, it will get a bitmap from any swf.

Parameters

	`libraryName:String` — The library name used when the asset was registered.

	`smooth:Boolean` (default = `true`)

Returns

Bitmap

getBitmapFromFZip

()

method

public static function getBitmapFromFZip(fzip:FZip, filename:String, receiver:Function, timeout:Number = 100):void

Send a bitmap from an fzip file to a receiver function.

This method needs a reciever callback because the bitmap is loaded by calling "loader.loadBytes" which takes a few milliseconds. The bitmap will not be ready for you if this function returned immediately.

Parameters

	`fzip:FZip` — The FZip object.

	`filename:String` — The filename inside the fzip.

	`receiver:Function` — The receiver function: `function(filename:String,bitmap:Bitmap).`

	`timeout:Number` (default = `100`) — (Optional) The time to wait before triggering the callback in milliseconds.

Example
An example reciever function

 
   function receiveBitmap(filename:String,bitmap:Bitmap):void{}

getBitmapFromSWFLibrary

Parameters

	`swfLibraryName:String` — The library name used when the swf asset was registered.

	`bitmapLinkageId:String` — The bitmaps' linkage id.

	`smooth:Boolean` (default = `true`)

Returns

Bitmap

getClass

()

method

public static function getClass(exportName:String):Class
