I want to rename the content because I need to be able to access it later using 
getChildByName("test");

But since its not possible, I think I'll have to make my classes dynamic and do 
this instead :

private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{
        event.target.removeEventListener(Event.INIT, loaderInit);
        this["test"] = event.target.content;
        addChild( this["test"] );
}

If you want to call addChild on the content then you can simply do:

addChild(event.target.content)

and that will throw your content on the stage. I'm not sure why it is not
possible to name that new content. I've tried playing around with this
myself and can't figure out how once you've loaded the content you can
access that content as a class. I've loaded up swfs and can reference
classes within the swf no problem and create instances of those classes
but if I try to get a class definition for the content all I can get is
MovieClip and I can't figure out how to create new instances of the that
loaded content without running another loader

Not sure if that helps you any or not.
