Types Class
Defines the load types that PreloadJS supports by default. This is typically used when passing a type override to a LoadQueue.
Example
queue.loadFile({src:"https://somecdn/wfossn3", type:createjs.Types.IMAGE});You can also use the string value:
queue.loadFile({src:"https://somecdn/wfossn3", type:"image"});Item Index
Properties
BINARY
String
static
The preload type for generic binary types. Note that images are loaded as binary files when using XHR.
Default: binary
CSS
String
static
The preload type for css files. CSS files are loaded using a <link> when loaded with XHR, or a <style> tag when loaded with tags.
Default: css
FONTCSS
String
static
The preload type for fonts specified with CSS (such as Google fonts)
Default: fontcss
IMAGE
String
static
The preload type for image files, usually png, gif, or jpg/jpeg. Images are loaded into an <image> tag.
Default: image
JAVASCRIPT
String
static
The preload type for javascript files, usually with the "js" file extension. JavaScript files are loaded into a <script> tag.
Since version 0.4.1+, due to how tag-loaded scripts work, all JavaScript files are automatically injected into the body of the document to maintain parity between XHR and tag-loaded scripts. In version 0.4.0 and earlier, only tag-loaded scripts are injected.
Default: javascript
JSON
String
static
The preload type for json files, usually with the "json" file extension. JSON data is loaded and parsed into a
JavaScript object. Note that if a callback is present on the load item, the file will be loaded with JSONP,
no matter what the LoadQueue/preferXHR:property property is set to, and the JSON
must contain a matching wrapper function.
Default: json
JSONP
String
static
The preload type for jsonp files, usually with the "json" file extension. JSON data is loaded and parsed into a JavaScript object. You are required to pass a callback parameter that matches the function wrapper in the JSON. Note that JSONP will always be used if there is a callback present, no matter what the LoadQueue/preferXHR:property property is set to.
Default: jsonp
MANIFEST
String
static
The preload type for json-based manifest files, usually with the "json" file extension. The JSON data is loaded and parsed into a JavaScript object. PreloadJS will then look for a "manifest" property in the JSON, which is an Array of files to load, following the same format as the loadManifest method. If a "callback" is specified on the manifest object, then it will be loaded using JSONP instead, regardless of what the LoadQueue/preferXHR:property property is set to.
Default: manifest
SOUND
String
static
The preload type for sound files, usually mp3, ogg, or wav. When loading via tags, audio is loaded into an <audio> tag.
Default: sound
SPRITESHEET
String
static
The preload type for SpriteSheet files. SpriteSheet files are JSON files that contain string image paths.
Default: spritesheet
TEXT
String
static
The preload type for text files, which is also the default file type if the type can not be determined. Text is loaded as raw text.
Default: text
VIDEO
String
static
The preload type for video files, usually mp4, ts, or ogg. When loading via tags, video is loaded into an <video> tag.
Default: video
