[Pixlib] AbstractLib et libs package, What for ?

[Francis Bourre]

Welcome Thomas!

AbstractLib is an abstract class to handle external data loading.
Generic features available in this class :
- name identifier
- url
- events system built-in (onLoadInitEVENT, onLoadProgressEVENT, 
onTimeOutEVENT)
- timeout handling
- errors logging
- content getter.
- Last but not least, you can use directly getPerCent() and getName() 
accessors to retrieve infos from LibEvent instances and make your preloader 
UIs working easily.

Few concrete implementations are available in the framework:
- GraphicLib. It handles .swf loading.
- XMLToObject. It handles xml files loading and automatical object 
deserialization.
- Libstack. Polymorphic stack implementation (FIFO). It means you can 
enqueue every class above (:ILib).
Libstack instance will broadcast all AbstractLib events (onLoadInitEVENT, 
onLoadProgressEVENT, onTimeOutEVENT) + a new one (onLoadCompleteEVENT) to 
notify stack is empty.

I will add SoundLib soon to the list to handle swf loading + SoundFactory 
instance feeding.

Here's a basical example to use GraphicLib class:
gl = new GraphicLib( mcTarget, nDepth );
gl.addEventListener( GraphicLib.onLoadInitEVENT, this, showIntro );
gl.load("intro.swf");

All your questions are welcome!
francis.
