Event type conversion problem...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hallo I am having a strange problem with the Bulk Loader. Here are the
steps that i go through when loding the assets that I need.

////////// 1 ///////////

//create instance of bulk loader and add all 
//button graphics and first teaser graphic
private function loadAssets():void{ 
    _bulkLoader = new BulkLoader("startteaser");
    _bulkLoader.logLevel = BulkLoader.LOG_INFO;

    for each (var i:XML in _configXML.card){
        var closedGraphicID:String = String(i.closedGraphic.attribute("src"));
        _bulkLoader.add(closedGraphicID);

    }

    var firstTeaserID:String =
String(_configXML.card[0].child("openGraphic").attribute("src"));
    var firstTeaserType:String = firstTeaserID.substr(firstTeaserID.length -
3, 3);
    _bulkLoader.add(firstTeaserID);

    _bulkLoader.addEventListener(BulkLoader.PROGRESS, onStartupItemsProgress);
    _bulkLoader.addEventListener(BulkLoader.COMPLETE, startupItemsLoaded);
    _bulkLoader.start();
}

////////// 2 ///////////

//start loading of all other teasers and start film
private function startupItemsLoaded($e:BulkProgressEvent) : void{
    _bulkLoader.removeEventListener(BulkLoader.PROGRESS, onStartupItemsProgress);
    _bulkLoader.removeEventListener(BulkLoader.COMPLETE, startupItemsLoaded);

    for(var i:Number = 0; i < _configXML.card.length(); i++){
        var openGraphicID:String =
String(_configXML.card[i].child("openGraphic").attribute("src"));
        _bulkLoader.add(openGraphicID);

    }

    _bulkLoader.start();

    _layoutManager = new LayoutManager(_configXML);
}

////////// 1 ///////////

//check to see if teaser is already loaded
//if so draw teaser if not show loading
public function Teaser($teaserXML:XML, $totalCards:Number) {
    _bulkLoader = BulkLoader.getLoader("startteaser");

    if(_bulkLoader.hasItem(_teaserID) != false){
        draw();

    }else{
        showLoadBar();

    }
}

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click any link in the flash teaser area
2. Return to the page with the back button in IE7 (this does not hapen on
all computers)

What is the expected output? 
All teaers should load.

What do you see instead?
For the 3 teasers that are loaded with in a second batch.

this error seems to go away when you change 

private function startupItemsLoaded($e:BulkProgressEvent) : void

to

private function startupItemsLoaded($e:Event) : void

Hi Greg Jacob.

This does work as expected from trunk. The stack trace in German is not helping 
me
much ;-).

I need more info to make sure this is some issue in BulkLoader , basically:
a) A simple test case: create loader, add one item, add complete listener, 
listen to
event and catch error.
b) The stack trace in English, with the --debug flag on so I can spot where the 
cast
is failing really.

Else, it works as expected.

Thanks

I have found the sollution to the problem:

BulkLoader.PROGRESS is a BulkProgressEvent

and 

BulkLoader.COMPLETE is a normal AS3 Event

I had assumed that COMPLETE was also a BulkProgressEvent since it had to do 
with progress.

Thanks

Greg
