First of all, sorry for my eglish.  
Im just starting a project on AS3 for the first time, and i came across with this problem:  
Im trying to load an external image into two different containers, so i started one loader instance and then added it to two different containers. I tryied this outside my main code, but obviously im missing something about loaders, child or something else. Is there a way to load my image just once and then add it twice to the displaylist? Here is my failed code, where i can just see the second child added.

```auto

var carga:Loader=new Loader();
var urlObject:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://www.kirupa.com/new_layout/modules/kirupaLogoGIF.gif");
carga.load(urlObject);
var sprite1:Sprite=new Sprite();
var sprite2:Sprite=new Sprite();
sprite1.name="sprite1";
sprite2.name="sprite2";
sprite1.addChild(carga);
sprite2.addChild(carga);
addChild(sprite1);
addChild(sprite2);
sprite2.x=100;

```

Thanks in advance!
