Hi Andrew, As far as I remember, the YouTube .swf is a shell around an .flv.
So the dimensions of the shell .swf may bear absolutely no resemblance at all to the size of the contained video; and off-hand, I can't think of a way to get at the contained video size. But aren't they all consistent in YouTube - I mean - does it ever vary? In other words, I think your loaderInfo.width and loaderInfo.height are correct _for the Youtube shell .swf_ - but it, in turn, contains an FLV, and you have no way to get at that scaling. I'm just guessing here. :-) But AFAIK, loaderInfo.width and .height are correctly returning the width and height encoded into the SWF header. They do give you the stage size.
