Hi Scott,

Thanks for the interest. You should start by taking a look at the load
package in the documentation:
http://as3.casalib.org/docs/index.html?http://as3.casalib.org/docs/package-org_casalib_load.html

All the loads in CASA Lib follow a simple syntax like this:

this._graphicLoad = new GraphicLoad("test.jpg");
this._graphicLoad.addEventListener(LoadEvent.COMPLETE, this._onComplete);
this._graphicLoad.start();

this._videoLoad = new VideoLoad("test.flv");
this._videoLoad.addEventListener(VideoLoadEvent.BUFFERED, this._onBuffered);
this._videoLoad.start();

Etc.

All the load classes extend from a BaseLoadItem class (has features like Bps
detection & cache prevention) and a generic Process class (which allows you
to easily chain and thread loads). You can also dump multiple loads into the
GroupLoad class and treat them a single load and receive total load
percentage.

If you or anyone else has any further questions I'd suggest joining the CASA
Lib discussion list, so we don't spam up the OSFlash list with CASA Lib
specifics.

Hope you find it useful.

Best,
Aaron
