Problem with the above-mentioned solution of using window.load() is it is not useful if your main swf weights only 1 kb but it actually doesn't display anything (just being a container that gets additional content loaded, which is often the case in flash files.

What i would do is use Actionscript 's ExternalInterface class that allows your flash player to communicate with the javascript functions available in the html file which contains the flash file. You could have your flash file call a javascript function that triggers a function that tells your javascript processing script that the flash is ready. What is nice with this is that you get the exact level of control you need over what should be loaded in the flash file when the javascript takes over.
