There are timing issues with SWFLoader. Perhaps the loaded swf has not completed its layout when you check the size? A loaded swf is not ready on the loader.complete event, you must wait for the applicationComplete event.

Information about the application: 1. The SWF files I am loading are generated via a File>>Export command out of Adobe Illustrator. This causes it to come out as an AVM1Movie. 2. I am loading these SWF files into an AVM2 SWF via the Loader class. Some of them correctly give me the dimensions, and some of them do not. 3. Oddly enough, on the incorrectly sized content, the Loader's LoaderInfo instance contains the correct dimensions. My initial reaction was to look at the content in Illustrator and see if maybe some vector data was being included in the SWF way offscreen (the incorrect dimensions are always larger) - thus causing the SWF to report a larger width than I am expecting. But I do not see any content in the Illustrator that would do that. I know there is some issues with loading AVM1 content into an AVM2 SWF - I wouldn't think the dimensions would be something affected by this, but you never know. Anyone have any ideas on what else to look at? Jonathon
