var mc:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcLoader.loadClip("http://www.fakedomain.com/images/bad_hair_day.jpg", mc);
If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 component's
DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method, which is
used in this example.

event listener), onLoadComplete (MovieClipLoader.onLoadComplete event

listener)
onLoadInit = function([target_mc:MovieClip]) {}
Invoked when the actions on the first frame of the loaded clip have been executed. When this
listener has been invoked, you can set properties, use methods, and otherwise interact with
the loaded movie. Call this listener on a listener object that you add by using
MovieClipLoader.addListener().
The value for target_mc identifies the movie clip for which this call is being made. This
parameter is useful if you are loading multiple files with the same set of listeners.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7
Parameters
target_mc:MovieClip [optional] - A movie clip loaded by the
MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method.
Example
The following example loads an image into a movie clip instance called image_mc. The
onLoadInit and onLoadComplete events are used to determine how long it takes to load the
image. This information is displayed in a text field called timer_txt.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
target_mc.startTimer = getTimer();
};
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
