Finding (loaded) image size in AS3 (Action Script 3.0)

Question

Im currently using the following function to load an image, however i could not figure out a way to find the width of the loaded image, which i intend to use before placing the next image using the same function.

Note that q is a a variable (a number) which is used to load differant images.

=X i need help obtainning the loaded image width...

function LoadImage(q)
{
    var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest("GalleryImages/Album1/"+q+".jpg");
    imageLoader.load(image);
    addChild (imageLoader);
    imageLoader.x = 0 + CurrentXLength;
    imageLoader.y = 0;
    imageLoader.name = "image"+q;
    trace(imageLoader.x)
}

You can't know the width of the bitmap until it's actually loaded:

function LoadImage(q)
{
    var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    var image:URLRequest = new URLRequest("GalleryImages/Album1/"+q+".jpg");
    imageLoader.contentLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, ImageLoaded);
    imageLoader.load(image);
    addChild (imageLoader);
    ...


private function ImageLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    var imageLoader:Loader = Loader(e.target.loader);
    var bm:Bitmap = Bitmap(imageLoader.content);
    var CurrentXLength = bm.width;
    ....
