Why is loaderInfo available only after applicationComplete fires?

Question

In an AS3 project, we can access loaderInfo in the first line of the root class' constructor. This means that the entire AS3 application can take advantage of the loaderInfo object.

However, in Flex, it seems that the loaderInfo object is not available until after the applicationComplete event is sent. This is problematic for me, as other components (that need to leverage loaderInfo) are initialized long before the applicationComplete event is sent.

I must be missing something. Thanks for your help, everyone! :)

Use Application.application.systemManager.stage.loaderInfo in Flex.
