Yeah I think you're right. First of all, in your UIComponent implement a measure method and set measuredWidth and measuredHeight to the content dimensions of the Loader (this will probably be 0x0 until the content is loaded). Then, watch the loader's events to determine when it is done loading its contents. Once the contents are loaded, call invalidateSize() on the UIComponent. That will force the parent component to re-measure the UIComponent and position it accordingly.
