The example is wrong only if you try putting it in a package. You can only access the image data from the loader's content property if you allow the loader to be available throughout the class.

In the example, the function imgLoaded can call upon the variable pictLoader because that variable was instantiated at a higher level (the document level as opposed to the function level).

For the example to work in a package, it should look something like this:

package
{
import flash.display.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.*;

public class LoaderExample extends Sprite
{
var pictLdr:Loader = new Loader(); // Placed outside of any function
var container:Sprite = new Sprite(); // Same here

public function LoaderExample()
{
addChild(container);
var pictURL:String = "banana.jpg"
var pictURLReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pictURL);
pictLdr.load(pictURLReq); // Accessed from THIS function....
pictLdr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imgLoaded);
}

function imgLoaded(event:Event):void
{
container.addChild(pictLdr.content); // ...and THIS function as well
}
}
}

You can't call a variable that's in one function from a different function (unless you mess with the access control modifier of the variable). In other words, if you want to access a variable from multiple functions, that variable must be placed at the class level.

The example is not wrong. Either method works for me. You can access the image from the loader's content property or the event.target's content property.

The example is incorrect ..
The correct function should be:
function imgLoaded(event:Event):void
{
container.addChild(event.target.content); //THIS LINE WAS WRONG
}
