If the SWF has more than one frame, or draws outside of its reported screen size, you can have issues like this. Once you know how big the SWF is, try calling invalidateDisplayList on the SWFLoader. If that doesn't help, then try centering the SWFLoader in some other container

I have a .swf that I load into my flex app... like this: [Embed(source="swfloader.swf")] [Bindable] private var swfLoaderAnimation:Class; <mx:SWFLoader id="loader" source="{swfLoaderAnimation}" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0" /> ----------------------- The problem(s): 1- Sometimes this swfloader is bigger than the actual swf, and if i scaleX and scaleY to 0.5, it is the appropriate size. Other times, however, it is the correct size, and scaling it makes it far too small... This even happens on the same custom component sometimes :( 2- I do not believe that flex actually knows how tall/wide this swf is, because the horizontalCenter and verticalCenter seem to center the top left pixel of the swf instead of the entire swf... if I put it inside of a hbox with a border, and center that, it shows that the swf runs off the bottom/right edges of the hbox... Any help? Thanks :)
