Always with any non-trivial repeated content, I advise creating a custom component. This way you can code the component normally, and expose any properties you need, and you can debug it to find out what is wrong when it does not work.
Expose the width value you want by calculating it at the appropriate time within the component. Note that when using SFLoader, the "complete" event does not mean that the content is also complete. You need to listen to the content's ApplicationComplete event if I remember correctly. I did a write up on that on CFLEX.net some time ago.

The case is that i have a repeater (rp_photos) with a SWFLoader inside. In another part of the app i have a timer with this inside: Application.application.graywidth=(rp_photos.getRepeaterItem(0) as Bitmap).width; i also tried with: Application.application.graywidth=(rp_photos.getRepeaterItem(0) as SWFLoader).contentWidth; but doesn't look like i get the current size of that image. Also, i wanna get the current width of it, not it's original size. from inside the SWFLoader, if i put this in an event it works: event.currentTarget.contentWidth; but what i need now is to get that width from outside the SWFLoader. I will thank your help a lot, since i lost too much time on this and became pretty urgent :( Thank you
