Hi, I don't know 'how' you have the view set up but, could you listen to the change event from the loader?
IE when it's added to it's parent's display list (viewstack), add the listener there? parent.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, stopLoader, false, 0, true); I only came up with this since I quickly looked at the ViewStack code. -------------------------------------- Scratch what I said above, just looked at the code again. When the lastChild is is hidden, it's done with setVisible() not .visible. So you should be able to override setVisible() and use your original logic.
