class Assets

package lime.utils

Available on all platforms

The Assets class provides a cross-platform interface to access embedded images, fonts, sounds and other resource files.

The contents are populated automatically when an application is compiled using the Lime command-line tools, based on the contents of the project file.

For most platforms, the assets are included in the same directory or package as the application, and the paths are handled automatically. For web content, the assets are preloaded before the start of the rest of the application.
