The "complete" event tells you when the load is complete. All SWFLoader loads from the network are asynchronous. You'll always have to wait to access the data

Just for short: I have an existing, empty SWFLoader object in my MXML code. After some time, I just want to populate it using SWFLoader.load() method with an external SWF movie, that has child MovieClips inside. Right after call the .load() method, I am insterested (in the same function) to access its children to move positions, etc. So, if I do something like: var myloader:SWFLoader= this.swfload; and then myloader.load("shelf2.swf"); and then myloader.content["s2"].alpha=0.3; It does not work at all. I tried myloader.addEventListener(...) with several events, does not work. The only way was to put that "myloader.content["s2"].alpha..." inside a setTimeout function, to allow SWFLoader to take some time to load. But you agree with me that this is so dirty. any ideas? Thanks to everyone!
