[flexcoders] Flex 2: height and width of Loader when loading SWF

[Jason Y. Kwong]

When the Loader loads a Flash 7/8 SWF, its height and width properties are set to the SWF's stage height and width.  The thing is, the SWF could size its content dynamically so that it's actually larger than specified.  The larger SWF is displayed properly in the Flex app and the contentHeight and contentWidth properties appear to be set accordingly.  But since the entirety of the SWF is displayed (and not clipped), doesn't it follow that the Loader's height and width should be larger as well?
I bring this up cause a Flex container doesn't clip or scroll its content if it thinks all of its children fit inside.  But a Loader doesn't necessarily report its "full" height and width (at least visually), so its content can spill outside the borders of its non-clipping container.  Thoughts?
