Why don't you listen for the complete event. The swfloader will fire of the 'complete' event when its loaded. So you don't try to display it until it has fully loaded. At the same time you can listen to the 'progress' event to see how much has loaded and maybe inform the user that your app is loading something and give a % loaded message or similar.

Is there a way to preload the items into the application without playing them or embeding them ? my goal is to preload the swf's while the app loads or on initial load then play them when ready using an event, any suggestions would be great <mx:SWFLoader id="swf" source="first.swf" height="400" width="400"/> Disclaimer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This electronic message contains information which may be privileged and confidential.
