Cannot Load AS2 SWFs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try to load an AS2 compiled swf.
2. Use the getMovieClip("id") method

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to load the swf. 
Receive an error:
Failed to get content with url: 'list0'as type: [class MovieClip];

the loader thinks that it is null. Not sure why.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest Version on Windows Vista

Please provide any additional information below.

Hi J Vargas.

AS2 movies are not MovieClip objects, but AVM1Movie objects.
In genreal, when you have a cast error, it's easier to use :
var content : * = bulkLoader.get(key);
And inspect that object to see what that is like.

A few extra pointers:
