If the swfs are just static animations (don't contain any frame jumping code) and just play from start finish, you may be able to access the current frame and total frame properties of the loaded swf and seeing if they are done playing by checking if the values match. A quick check reveals that you may need to use the 'contentLoaderInfo' object inside the Loader object to access the loaded swf's properties.
