Philipp and me have been using the PreLoader class as a Loader replacement for some years now. It loads asset SWFs more convenient and has some nice improvements over the usual Loader.

Key features:

- Works similar to the Loader class (although it’s not extending it)
- Allows only one loading process per time (integrated loading queue)
- Some nice enhancements
