You can load the xml like this:



public function XmlLoader(path:String) {

loader = new URLLoader();
configureListeners(loader);

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);

try {
loader.load(request);
} catch (error:Error) {
trace("Unable to load requested document.");
}
}
And then configure listeners and wait for the complete signal:



private function configureListeners(dispatcher:IEventDispatcher):vo id {
dispatcher.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
}

private function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
xml = new XML(event.target.data);
dispatchEvent(new Event("evtXMLLoaded", {args: "done"}));
}
For instance. If you listen for that event you can easily know when the xml is fully loaded.

I have attached a xmlloader that I always use. You don't have to use it, but perhaps it is useful for you.

How to use it:

1. import it
2. create an instance of it.
3. add a listener and a handler function
4. done!



import utils.XmlLoader;

myLoader = new XmlLoader("xml/whateverFile.xml");
myLoader.addEventListener("evtXMLLoaded", dataLoaded);

private function dataLoaded(e:Event):void {
xml = new XML();
XML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
xml = e.target.xml;
trace(xml);
}
