I think I see a problem with this. I don't know how often GarbageCollection runs, but if the loader you create has no references to it, and the only event listener to it is set to have a weakReference, then the loader could get discarded before it finishes, unless the act of loading doesn't allow it to be removed.
Otherwise, as far as I know, that looks like it should be fine to get reference to the loader again and remove the event listener. ?
