Base class used by load classes. LoadItem is not designed to be used on its own and needs to be extended to function.

Events broadcasted to listeners:

LoadEvent with type: START - Dispatched when a load is started.
LoadEvent with type: STOP - Dispatched if the load is stopped during the loading process.
RetryEvent with type: RETRY - Dispatched if the download attempt failed and the class is going to attempt to download the file again.
IOErrorEvent with type: IO_ERROR - Dispatched if requested file cannot be loaded and the download terminates.
Event with type: OPEN - Dispatched when a load operation starts.
LoadEvent with type: PROGRESS - Dispatched as data is received during the download process.
LoadEvent with type: COMPLETE - Dispatched when file has completely loaded.
