does determineFlag() do some asynch service call? If so you need to wait and
raise an event or update a var in a model and listen for changes that way.
Otherwise your determineFlag() method will run to completion before the
loader.loadSomeStuff() line is executed, Flash is single threaded for user
code execution so you shouldn't have a race condition there
