Greetings!

Is it possible to add and event to a SWFLoader to check if a loaded swf has stopped playing?

or is there another way to check if a loaded swf had finished playing?

thanks!

Loaded movie must dispatch a custom event, Flash doesn’t do that automatically.

```auto
//in last keyframe
dispatchEvent(new Event("contentHasFinishedPlaying",false,true);

```

If ur event is bubbling (like here) it can be listened even on stage.
