Is there any benefit, performance-wise, to adding the _content_ of a Loader to the stage rather than the Loader itself? For example, if I was going to be turning the visible on and off of various display objects in a Vector, will it make any difference whether it’s a Vector of Loaders or a Vector of Bitmaps?
