How to use

To load the external class and instantiate it (default behavior):

new ScriptLoader('MooClassName', [arg_0, arg_1, ...]);

To load the external class and instantiate it later:

var loader = new ScriptLoader('MooClassName', [arg_0, arg_1, ...],
{
    autoStart: false
});
loader.addEvent('load', function()
{
    // Code
    // ...
    this.process(myLoader);
}.bind(loader));

To get the reference of an instance:

var loader = new ScriptLoader('MooClassName', [arg_0, arg_1, ...]);
loader.addEvent('processEnd', function()
{
    this.getInstance().doSomething(); // doSomething is an instance method.
}.bind(loader));

An example that uses some options:

new ScriptLoader('MooClassName', [arg_0, arg_1, ...],
{
    path: '/javascript/{Klass}.js'
});

NEW - To load multiple classes at once

var loader = new ScriptLoader.Multiple(
[
    'GoogleMaps.Control',
    'GoogleMaps.Control.Type',
    'GoogleMaps.Control.Zoom',
    'GoogleMaps.Marker'
],
{
    path: '/javascript/{Klass}.js'
}); 
loader.addEvent('load', this.process_after_loading.bind(this));
