Hi, The SWFs are actually AS2 and created in Flash, not flex. They are out of our control so we can't assume they are anything specific.
I tried adding a listener for applicationComplete but didn't get offered that option from flex builder (swfloader.content.addEventListener(...)) I did get on enter frame though, so was thinking I could add a listener for that, and let it run a couple frames before assuming it's ready? I am not sure this will be the same with AS2 SWFs though? Will be interesting to hear your thoughts :) Rob --- In [email protected], "Alex H" <aha...@...> wrote: > > Flex SWFs have 2 frames. The preloader frame's size is based on the > Application tag.
