/**
 * @class
 * Flickr loader: Load JSONP data from Flickr. 
 *
 * <p>This is a loader for Flickr data. You probably want to use it with a
 * URL for the Flickr Geo Feed API: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/">http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/</a></p>
 *
 * <p>The loader takes a full URL, minus the JSONP callback function.</p>
 *
 * @augments TimeMap.loaders.jsonp
 * @requires loaders/json.js
 *
 * @example
TimeMap.init({
    datasets: [
        {
            title: "Flickr Dataset",
            type: "flickr",
            options: {
                // This is just the latest geotagged photo stream - try adding
                // an "id" or "tag" or "photoset" parameter to get what you want
                url: "http://www.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?format=json&jsoncallback="
            }
        }
    ],
    // etc...
});
 * @see <a href="../../examples/pathlines.html">Flickr Pathlines Example</a>
 *
 * @param {Object} options          All options for the loader
 * @param {String} options.url          Full JSONP url of Flickr feed to load
 * @param {mixed} [options[...]]        Other options (see {@link TimeMap.loaders.jsonp})
