I am currently using the Loader class to load ext swfs. I have a problem, if the first frame of that swf is empty, the loader detects that its height and width to be only 0 and I won’t be able to change the .height and .width of that loader in the complete event. This can be walked round if I put a invisible layer that reflects the dimension of that swf, is there other more elegant way of going round this?
