[Flashcoders] Height and Width of a loaded SWF before it visually renders?
Hi all. I'm loading several .swf files into another .swf, to produce a horizontal bar of clickable icons. The loaded .swf files animate, changing their size, when they are clicked on. I've written a script in the loading .swf that positions the loaded .swfs in the scrollbar, but by the time it can access the height and width properties of the loaded .swf files they have already visually rendered. (I'm currently using an Event.ENTER_FRAME to trigger the script that positions the loaded .swf files.) This is causing a juddering in the scrollbar as the loaded swf files are rendering visually before the positioning script accesses their height and width and then position them, turning it into a two step process: 1) icon movie clip changes size and renders, 2) scrollbar script repositions the icon movie clips What I'd like to do is access the height and width of the loaded swf files before they visually render so that I can get them into the correct positions before the visual render occours. Turn it into a one step process: icon movie clip changes size and then they are all repositioned by the scrollbar script. I've tried creating an Event.RENDER within the loaded .swf files to trigger the script in the loading swf to position the icons, but the loaded swf files never seem to fire a render event while it's animating. I'm not even sure what I want to do is possible as the loaded swfs may not have their new height/width before they have visually rendered. Thoughts..?

You could listen for the 'init' event from the LoaderInfo object for
each loaded SWF. In the init handler the width and height properties
of the LoaderInfo object should be accessible.
loader.contentLoaderInfo(init, function () {
trace( + loader.contentLoaderInfo.width); // width
trace( + loader.contentLoaderInfo.height); // height
});
