Example:

import com.hydrotik.utils.QueueLoader;
import com.hydrotik.utils.QueueLoaderEvent;


//Instantiate the QueueLoader
var _oLoader:QueueLoader = new QueueLoader();

//Run a loop that loads 3 images from the flashassets/images/slideshow folder
var image:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(image);
//Add a load item to the loader
_oLoader.addItem(prefix("") + "flashassets/images/slideshow/1.jpg", image, {title:"Image"});

//Add event listeners to the loader
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.QUEUE_START, onQueueStart, false, 0, true);
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.ITEM_START, onItemStart, false, 0, true);
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.ITEM_PROGRESS, onItemProgress, false, 0, true);
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.ITEM_INIT, onItemInit,false, 0, true);
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.ITEM_ERROR, onItemError,false, 0, true);
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.QUEUE_PROGRESS, onQueueProgress, false, 0, true);
_oLoader.addEventListener(QueueLoaderEvent.QUEUE_INIT, onQueueInit,false, 0, true);

//Run the loader
_oLoader.execute();

//Listener functions
function onQueueStart(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace(">> "+event.type);
}

function onItemStart(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace("\t>> "+event.type, "item title: "+event.title);
}

function onItemProgress(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace("\t>> "+event.type+": "+[" percentage: "+event.percentage]);
}

function onQueueProgress(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace("\t>> "+event.type+": "+[" queuepercentage: "+event.queuepercentage]);
}

function onItemInit(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace("\t>> name: "+event.title + " event:" + event.type+" - "+["target: "+event.targ, "w: "+event.width, "h: "+event.height]+"\n");
}

function onItemError(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace("\n>>"+event.message+"\n");
}

function onQueueInit(event:QueueLoaderEvent):void {
	trace("** "+event.type);
}
