The ethos of AS3 is that instead of watching something, you indeed setup
events that are fired when they change. So instead you just do an
.addEventListener() to the object created.
Each object type has particular events it can fire. A LoaderInfo class
dispatches complete, httpStatus, init, ioError, open, progress, and unload
events. You can find them on the reference. Remember that the data changes
once it's loaded ("complete"), so that's what you want to watch even if
there's no "change" event.
