This may be out of left field but if the SWF needs to be completely loaded before you open a data connection for the SWF to use wouldn't it be a better idea to have the data connection logic inside the SWF that you're loading and have it open the data connection on its creationComplete handler?

I tried all combinations of attaching a listener for the complete event inside of creationComplete, preinitialize, etc, and complete never fired. What works is to load without embedding: > > <mx:SWFLoader id='thisSWF' width="1200" height="400" > source='deleteme.swf' > complete="onComplete();" /> > > The reason I want to know when the SWF is completely loaded is so that I can then open a localConnection to send data to the swf at startup.
