Thanks Angus. I checked my code and I am not setting width/height on the SWFLoader before setting percentHeight and percentWidth. However despite setting them both to 100% on the SWFLoaders, the loaders on all tabs apart from the first one end up with width=0 and height=0 once loaded.
Can anyone from Adobe confirm if this is a known problem?
