That sorta works. It's a way of getting notified when the properties
do finally get updated . But i still have to do if( swfLoader.width
!=0 && swfLoader.height != 0 ){ ... }. And since I really only need to
run that piece of code once, I would have to remove the listener after
the code successfully gets executed.I still don't understand why calling swfLoader.validateNow() does not work when I try to call it in the 'complete' handler.
