Fail getting swf animation

[dsirijus]

Here's extended BulkLoader I'm using http://pastie.org/1158287

Everything works fine, except this little detail with 'counter.swf'.

I'm trying to get it with
Downloader.getLoader().getMovieClip("counter") and add it to stage,
but nothing shows up. In counter.swf is a certain animation, nothing
special.

Also, any tips on extending BulkLoader would be helpful.

It's a bit hard to know how to fix this without more info. The usual suspects:
- set logLevel to info, see if anything else comes up (for example if
the url is wrong)
- Check to see if the request is coming through (e.g. use firebug), is
it loading?
- If it is, is it a visual issue?
var clip : MovieClip = Downloader.getLoader().getMovieClip("counter");
trace(clip)
trace(clip.width)... etc
- Is it a AVM2 movie? If it is you need to fetch content with the
getAVM2... method...

There isn't too many BulkLoader especific things to add. All the
general inheritance vs composition considerations do apply. The main
areas where things can get interesting is:
- Capture events from bulkloader (progress, error, complete) and act on it.
- Create different loading types. The test suite has a JSONItem
example that should give you some pointers
