shared between a loaded object and the Loader object that loaded it (between loader and
loadee).
The LoaderInfo class provides information such as load progress, the URLs of the loader and
loadee, the number of bytes total for the media, and the nominal height and width of the
media. A LoaderInfo object also dispatches events for monitoring the progress of the load.
In order to access properties of loaded content, you will want to add an event listener to the
LoaderInfo object, as in the following code:
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.display.Sprite;
import flash.events.Event;
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("Circle.swf");
ldr.load(urlReq);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaded);
addChild(ldr);
function loaded(event:Event):void
{
var content:Sprite = event.target.content;
content.scaleX = 2;
}
