[FONT=“Arial”]Is it possible to create a variable that references a loader content ?

For instance, in the example below, is it possible of having something like:

[COLOR=“Blue”]var LoaderContent:SOMETYPE = new SOMETYPE();

LoaderContent = pictLdr.content;[/COLOR]

\*\*And then using LoaderContent variable instead ?

What type of variable should it be ?\*\*

[COLOR=“Blue”]var container:Sprite = new Sprite();  
addChild(container);[SIZE=“4”][/SIZE]  
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader();  
var pictURL:String = “banana.jpg”  
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL); pictLdr.load(pictURLReq);

pictLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);

function imgLoaded(event:Event):void  
{  
container.addChild(pictLdr.content);  
}[/COLOR]
