PreloadJS

PreloadJS is a library to make working with asset preloading easier. It provides a consistent API for loading different file types, automatic detection of XHR (XMLHttpRequest) availability with a fallback to tag-base loading, composite progress events, and a plugin model to assist with preloading in other libraries such as SoundJS.

Example

var queue = new createjs.LoadQueue(false);
queue.on("fileload", handleFileComplete);
queue.loadFile('http://createjs.com/assets/images/png/createjs-badge-dark.png');
function handleFileComplete(event) {
	document.body.appendChild(event.result);
}
