what event sets the dimensions of a swfloader?

Question

I am trying to scale a swf that has been loaded via a swfloader. When I get the complete event or the init event the dimensions of the swfloader are still zero. I don't see a value in the dimensions until I do a resize of the browser window. The swf is just an animation. Trying to resize the actual swf content gives inconsistent results.

For this kind of problem, it sometimes helps to simply poll the dimensions on enterFrame until you get some value. You could for example do this:

bool dimensionsSet = false
addEventListener("enterFrame", checkDimensions);

function checkDimensions(event:*):void {
    if (!dimensionsSet && width && height) {
        dimensionsSet = true;
        // Do initialization code
    }
}
