Question

I’m using Loader to get the image data out of a ByteArray. The problem is that I need to store that image data with a name (which is known beforehand) once it’s passed to the complete handler. Since the operation is asynchronous, I can’t be sure which image of multiple will finish loading first, so it seems I need to pass the information with it somehow… I can’t seem to find any properties of Loader that pass any vaguely useful information along.

Any recommendations on how I might accomplish this?

Couldn’t you just use the Loader.name property?

var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.name = 'name_of_the_loader';
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderListener);
ldr.loadBytes(aByteArray);

...

function loaderListener(event:Event):void {
  trace('name of the completed loader is '+LoaderInfo(event.target).loader.name);
}

Could you provide some code?
