applicationComplete is the perfect solution for me.
Here's my a code snippet for anyone reading this later:
[Bindable]public var _smAppLoaded:SystemManager;
<mx:SWFLoader id="myLoader" width="300"
complete="onCompleteMyLoader();"/>
private function onCompleteMyLoader():void {
_smAppLoaded = SystemManager(myLoader.content);
_smAppLoaded.addEventListener(FlexEvent.APPLICATION_COMPLETE,onLoadedApp
licationComplete)
}
private function onLoadedApplicationComplete(oEvent:Event):void
{
Alert.show(_smAppLoaded.application["lblOne"].text);
}

You should get an applicationComplete when the app's ready. It is
available earlier than that, but I don't think there's a good event for
it. You could check on enterFrame events.

Subject: [flexcoders] SWFLoader: WHEN can I access
SystemManager.application["myContent"]?
In a handler on the complete event of a SWFLoader, I set an instance
variable(typed as SystemManager) to myLoader.content.
_smAppLoaded = SystemManager(myLoader.content);
When can I access the .application property?:
Alert.show(_smAppLoaded.application["lblOne"].text);
If I try it in the event handler, I get a null reference.
The same if I try it in a callLater()
But if I try it after a setInterval or timer of 5000 ms, I get a valid
reference.
And from a button in the UI, it is valid.
Is there a good way to know if it is ready? Or should I just use a
timer loop?
