There is no need to cast. The Loader.content property is defined as a
DisplayObject -
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/display/Loader.html#content
but I should have been more strictly typed.
function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void {
var loadedContent:DisplayObject = loadEvent.target.content;
loadedContent.name = "MyName";
addChild(loadedContent);
}
