new Loader(game)
The Loader handles loading all external content such as Images, Sounds, Texture Atlases and data files.
The loader uses a combination of tag loading (eg. Image elements) and XHR and provides progress and completion callbacks.
Parallel loading (see enableParallel) is supported and enabled by default.
Load-before behavior of parallel resources is controlled by synchronization points as discussed in withSyncPoint.
Texture Atlases can be created with tools such as Texture Packer and
Shoebox

Used to map the application mime-types to to the Accept header in XHR requests.
If you don't require these mappings, or they cause problems on your server, then
remove them from the headers object and the XHR request will not try to use them.This object can also be used to set the
X-Requested-With
header toXMLHttpRequest
(or any other value you need). To enable this do:this.load.headers.requestedWith = 'XMLHttpRequest'
before adding anything to the Loader. The XHR loader will then call:
setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', this.headers['requestedWith'])

addSyncPoint(type, key) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Add a synchronization point to a specific file/asset in the load queue.
This has no effect on already loaded assets.
Parameters:
Name Type Description type
string The type of resource to turn into a sync point (image, audio, xml, etc).
key
string Key of the file you want to turn into a sync point.
Returns:
This Loader instance.

-
<internal> addToFileList(type, key, url, properties, overwrite, extension) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Internal function that adds a new entry to the file list. Do not call directly.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description type
string The type of resource to add to the list (image, audio, xml, etc).
key
string The unique Cache ID key of this resource.
url
string <optional>
The URL the asset will be loaded from.
properties
object <optional>
(none) Any additional properties needed to load the file. These are added directly to the added file object and overwrite any defaults.
overwrite
boolean <optional>
false If true then this will overwrite a file asset of the same type/key. Otherwise it will only add a new asset. If overwrite is true, and the asset is already being loaded (or has been loaded), then it is appended instead.

-
atlas(key, textureURL, atlasURL, atlasData, format) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Adds a Texture Atlas file to the current load queue.
To create the Texture Atlas you can use tools such as:
If using Texture Packer we recommend you enable "Trim sprite names".
If your atlas software has an option to "rotate" the resulting frames, you must disable it.You can choose to either load the data externally, by providing a URL to a json file.
Or you can pass in a JSON object or String via theatlasData
parameter.
If you pass a String the data is automatically run throughJSON.parse
and then immediately added to the Phaser.Cache.If URLs are provided the files are not loaded immediately after calling this method, but are added to the load queue.
The key must be a unique String. It is used to add the file to the Phaser.Cache upon successful load.
Retrieve the file via
Cache.getImage(key)
. JSON files are automatically parsed upon load.
If you need to control when the JSON is parsed then useLoader.text
instead and parse the JSON file as needed.The URLs can be relative or absolute. If the URL is relative the
Loader.baseURL
andLoader.path
values will be prepended to it.If the textureURL isn't specified then the Loader will take the key and create a filename from that.
For example if the key is "player" and textureURL is null then the Loader will set the URL to be "player.png".
The same is true for the atlasURL. If atlasURL isn't specified and no atlasData has been provided then the Loader will
set the atlasURL to be the key. For example if the key is "player" the atlasURL will be set to "player.json".If you do not desire this action then provide URLs and / or a data object.
Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description key
string Unique asset key of the texture atlas file.
textureURL
string <optional>
URL of the texture atlas image file. If undefined or
null
the url will be set to<key>.png
, i.e. ifkey

string <optional>
URL of the texture atlas data file. If undefined or
null
and no atlasData is given, the url will be set to<key>.json
, i.e. ifkey
was "alien" then the URL will be "alien.json".atlasData
object <optional>
A JSON or XML data object. You don't need this if the data is being loaded from a URL.
format
number <optional>
The format of the data. Can be Phaser.Loader.TEXTURE_ATLAS_JSON_ARRAY (the default), Phaser.Loader.TEXTURE_ATLAS_JSON_HASH or Phaser.Loader.TEXTURE_ATLAS_XML_STARLING.
Returns:
This Loader instance.

-
atlasJSONArray(key, textureURL, atlasURL, atlasData) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Adds a Texture Atlas file to the current load queue.
Unlike
Loader.atlasJSONHash
this call expects the atlas data to be in a JSON Array format.To create the Texture Atlas you can use tools such as:

audio(key, urls, autoDecode) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Adds an audio file to the current load queue.
The file is not loaded immediately after calling this method. The file is added to the queue ready to be loaded when the loader starts.
The key must be a unique String. It is used to add the file to the Phaser.Cache upon successful load.
Retrieve the file via
Cache.getSound(key)
.The URL can be relative or absolute. If the URL is relative the
Loader.baseURL
andLoader.path
values will be prepended to it.Mobile warning: There are some mobile devices (certain iPad 2 and iPad Mini revisions) that cannot play 48000 Hz audio.
When they try to play the audio becomes extremely distorted and buzzes, eventually crashing the sound system.
The solution is to use a lower encoding rate such as 44100 Hz.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description key
string Unique asset key of the audio file.
urls
string | Array.<string> | Array.<object> Either a single string or an array of URIs or pairs of
{uri: .., type: ..}
.
If an array is specified then the first URI (or URI + mime pair) that is device-compatible will be selected.
For example:"jump.mp3"
,['jump.mp3', 'jump.ogg', 'jump.m4a']
, or[{uri: "data:<opus_resource>", type: 'opus'}, 'fallback.mp3']
.
BLOB and DATA URIs can be used but only support automatic detection when used in the pair form; otherwise the format must be manually checked before adding the resource.autoDecode
boolean <optional>
true When using Web Audio the audio files can either be decoded at load time or run-time.
Audio files can't be played until they are decoded and, if specified, this enables immediate decoding. Decoding is a non-blocking async process, however it consumes huge amounts of CPU time on mobiles especially.Returns:
This Loader instance.

-
image(key, url, overwrite) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Adds an Image to the current load queue.
The file is not loaded immediately after calling this method. The file is added to the queue ready to be loaded when the loader starts.
Phaser can load all common image types: png, jpg, gif and any other format the browser can natively handle.
The key must be a unique String. It is used to add the file to the Phaser.Cache upon successful load.
Retrieve the image via
Cache.getImage(key)
The URL can be relative or absolute. If the URL is relative the
Loader.baseURL
andLoader.path
values will be prepended to it.If the URL isn't specified the Loader will take the key and create a filename from that. For example if the key is "alien"
and no URL is given then the Loader will set the URL to be "alien.png". It will always add.png
as the extension.
If you do not desire this action then provide a URL.This method also supports passing in a texture object as the
url
argument. This allows you to load
compressed textures into Phaser. You can also useLoader.texture
to do this.Compressed Textures are a WebGL only feature, and require 3rd party tools to create.
Available tools include Texture Packer, PVRTexTool, DirectX Texture Tool and Mali Texture Compression Tool.Supported texture compression formats are: PVRTC, S3TC and ETC1.
Supported file formats are: PVR, DDS, KTX and PKM.The formats that support all 3 compression algorithms are PVR and KTX.
PKM only supports ETC1, and DDS only S3TC for now.The texture path object looks like this:
load.image('factory', { etc1: 'assets/factory_etc1.pkm', s3tc: 'assets/factory_dxt1.pvr', pvrtc: 'assets/factory_pvrtc.pvr', truecolor: 'assets/factory.png' });
The
truecolor
property points to a standard PNG file, that will be used if none of the
compressed formats are supported by the browser / GPU.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description key
string Unique asset key of this image file.
url
string | object <optional>
URL of an image file. If undefined or
null
the url will be set to<key>.png
, i.e. ifkey

spritesheet(key, url, frameWidth, frameHeight, frameMax, margin, spacing, skipFrames) → {Phaser.Loader}
-
Adds a Sprite Sheet to the current load queue.
The file is not loaded immediately after calling this method. The file is added to the queue ready to be loaded when the loader starts.
To clarify the terminology that Phaser uses: A Sprite Sheet is an image containing frames, usually of an animation, that are all equal
dimensions and often in sequence. For example if the frame size is 32x32 then every frame in the sprite sheet will be that size.
Sometimes (outside of Phaser) the term "sprite sheet" is used to refer to a texture atlas.
A Texture Atlas works by packing together images as best it can, using whatever frame sizes it likes, often with cropping and trimming
the frames in the process. Software such as Texture Packer, Flash CC or Shoebox all generate texture atlases, not sprite sheets.
If you've got an atlas then useLoader.atlas
instead.The key must be a unique String. It is used to add the image to the Phaser.Cache upon successful load.
Retrieve the file via
Cache.getImage(key)
. Sprite sheets, being image based, live in the same Cache as all other Images.The URL can be relative or absolute. If the URL is relative the
Loader.baseURL
andLoader.path
values will be prepended to it.If the URL isn't specified the Loader will take the key and create a filename from that. For example if the key is "alien"
and no URL is given then the Loader will set the URL to be "alien.png". It will always add.png
as the extension.
If you do not desire this action then provide a URL.Parameters:
Name Type Argument Default Description key
string Unique asset key of the sheet file.
url
string URL of the sprite sheet file. If undefined or
null
the url will be set to<key>.png
, i.e. ifkey
was "alien" then the URL will be "alien.png".frameWidth
number Width in pixels of a single frame in the sprite sheet.
frameHeight
number Height in pixels of a single frame in the sprite sheet.
frameMax
number <optional>
-1 How many frames in this sprite sheet. If not specified it will divide the whole image into frames.
margin
number <optional>
0 If the frames have been drawn with a margin, specify the amount here.
spacing
number <optional>
0 If the frames have been drawn with spacing between them, specify the amount here.

,['boom.mp4', 'boom.ogg', 'boom.webm']
, or[{uri: "data:<opus_resource>", type: 'opus'}, 'fallback.mp4']
.
BLOB and DATA URIs can be used but only support automatic detection when used in the pair form; otherwise the format must be manually checked before adding the resource.loadEvent
string <optional>
'canplaythrough' This sets the Video source event to listen for before the load is considered complete.
'canplaythrough' implies the video has downloaded enough, and bandwidth is high enough that it can be played to completion.
'canplay' implies the video has downloaded enough to start playing, but not necessarily to finish.
'loadeddata' just makes sure that the video meta data and first frame have downloaded. Phaser uses this value automatically if the
browser is detected as being Firefox and noloadEvent
is given, otherwise it defaults tocanplaythrough
.asBlob
boolean <optional>
false Video files can either be loaded via the creation of a video element which has its src property set.
Or they can be loaded via xhr, stored as binary data in memory and then converted to a Blob. This isn't supported in IE9 or Android 2.
If you need to have the same video playing at different times across multiple Sprites then you need to load it as a Blob.Returns:
