[Flashcoders] how to return in this function

[Claudio M. E. Bastos Iorio]

Hi guys, hope you can help me on this one.

I have a class to load an XML file. I'm trying this:

 


package {
   import flash.net.URLRequest;
   import flash.net.URLLoader;
   import flash.events.*;
   public class retornaXML{
      private var _xml:XML;
      public function retornaXML() {
         cargarXML();
      }
      
      private function cargarXML():void {
         var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
         loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
         loader.load(new URLRequest("LocalData.xml"));
      }
      private function xmlLoaded(e:Event):void {
         _xml = new XML(e.target.data);
         trace(_xml);
//THE TRACE HERE WORKS PERFECT AND RETURNS THE XML         

      }
      public function get elXML():XML {
         return _xml;
//THIS RETURNS null
      }
     
   }
}

 

I want something like this: 

 

var mivariable:retornaXML = new retornaXML();
trace(mivariable.elXML);

 

but this trace returns null, since the xml file (I think) is not loaded yet.
What should I do?

 

Thanks in advance.
