This always returns false
You are creating events and expecting them to run at the same time;
they won't. They're just skipped and it goes straight to "return
false" after creating them.
When creating your onLoads, you're just telling what code should be
run *when* the onLoad occur, not running it. For your code to work,
it would have to halt all code execution on flash until onLoad runs
for the return to work they way you expect it to. Either way,
"return" inside of onLoad would also return from the onLoad, not
from your function. So it would never work one way or the other.
So you can't have a function try to load something and reply with
results. They're asynchronous; you'd have a function that does the
call and goes back with no result at all, then something else that
handles results accordingly. That's why there are events.
Also, use "var xml = (...)" when creating your xml object (the same
way you did with LoadVars) or else you'll have scope issues in the
future.
