Ok, so I made some progress. If in the progress handler I do something
like...
if(event.bytesLoaded == event.bytesTotal)
{
var timer: Timer = new Timer(1000, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, this.handleTimer);
timer.start();
}
I can the access the the lib in the timer handler. Hooray! :) Not sure
why the complete event never fires but I can work with this.
