How do i load a swf and take snapshots of that loaded swf?

Question

hey guys, so i have a multitude of swf's that i need to load into my application, and after loading them i need to take image snapshots of those swf's, to create a slides list.
i know i can do somehting like this:
var imageSnap:ImageSnapshot = ImageSnapshot.captureImage(source);
but the problem is, how do i know if the swf has loaded all the data within it???
thanks in advance!

OK.
Here is the starting point:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.SWFLoader;
private var swfLdr:SWFLoader;
private function startSWF():void
swfLdr = new SWFLoader();
swfLdr.horizontalCenter = 0;
swfLdr.verticalCenter = 0;
swfLdr.source = "youFile.swf";
addElement(swfLdr);
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Button x="50" y="50" label="start" click="startSWF()" />
</s:Application>
If this code gives you an error, you want to check that the swf address is correct and the swf itself is not corrupted.
From that point,  you start build your custom functionality - one step at a time!
