No of course. While haXe is sometime "cleaning-up" some API by enforcing some good usages and more strict typing, it can't modify the internal behavior of the Flash Player. In the case of MovieClipLoader, you should wait for both onLoadInit and onLoadComplete, and even in that case I already saw some problems where some users have a somehow corrupted SWF in cache. As for the other problems, I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
