The failure is due to XML::load function refusing to work
for an object which is not strictly a LoadableObject type.
In the SWF6 case above, a LessonLoader AS class is created
to derive from XML, and .load() is called on it.

IIRC all XML.load does is loading the whole resource into
a string and calling this.onData, so there should really
be nothing requiring strict typing.

I think it would be useful to move the LoadableObject functionality
into a service exposed by movie_root. A service that loads something
and calls onData on the passed object when done.
