I don't think there is a way to force SWFLoader to know its width when it dispatches the COMPLETE event. That event means the bytes are downloaded, but they may not be fully consumed yet. However, it should be available on the UPDATE_COMPLETE that follows the COMPLETE event.

It's a way of getting notified when the properties do finally get updated . But i still have to do if( swfLoader.width !=0 && swfLoader.height != 0 ){ ... }. And since I really only need to run that piece of code once, I would have to remove the listener after the code successfully gets executed. I still don't understand why calling swfLoader.validateNow() does not work when I try to call it in the 'complete' handler.
