Describe type is quite a heavy operation. I am not sure if it would affect this application though. It indeed is an easy solution :) Another solution would be to call the loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.hasDefinition(name:String):Boolean method.
As far as the original problem is concerned, my thoughts about it: When you load content from another domain (which is the case when loading swf's in AIR from another location) they will automatically be loaded into a child application domain. This means that both parent (the domain of the AIR application) and child domain (the domain of the swf) contain an definition of IAnimatedItem. If you then check if the swf implements the parent definition it will return false. The parent definition is not the same as the child definition.
