```auto

function startLoad(){
    var mLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("game1.swf");
    var mLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false,ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
    mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCompleteHandler);
    mLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgressHandler);
    mLoader.load(mRequest, mLoaderContext);
}
function onCompleteHandler(loadEvent:Event){
    var keyManager:Class = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.getDefinition("net.keithhair.KeyManager") as Class;
    addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
}

```

```auto
import net.keithhair.KeyManager;
keyManager=new KeyManager(stage);
keyManager.addKey(["a"], doSomething);
function doSomething():void {
    //do something  
}

```

Result:

```auto
