A quick question about Gideros HTML5

  HTML5 loads every asset in memory right from the beginning, meaning that files are actually in memory, but they're not uncompressed nor loaded into texture until you use them.

  @hgy29 - thanks for the answer, that's what I wanted to double check.
  
  This is different to the normal operation right?
  
  For the native ports, the atlases are only loaded into memory when you load a scene that requires them. Is this correct? - I'd just like to understand how it works

  Both yes and no. It is easier to think it as filesystem-in-memory for HTML5 while files are on disk other platforms, that's really the only difference. But of course since files are stored in memory, they consume memory even if you don't open them.

  Just a thought: would it be possibile to load assets through urlloader only when required?

  Hi @hgy29

  Thank you for the explanation!
