import events.XMLFileLoaderEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
public class XMLFileLoader extends EventDispatcher
{
public var xml:XML;
private var _xmlURL:String;
private var _urlLoader:URLLoader;
public function XMLFileLoader(xmlURL:String)
{
_xmlURL = xmlURL;
_urlLoader = new URLLoader(new
URLRequest(_xmlURL));
_urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
onXMLLoaded);
}
private function onXMLLoaded(event:Event):void
{
xml = new XML(event.target.data);
dispatchEvent(new
XMLFileLoaderEvent(XMLFileLoaderEvent.LOAD_COMPLETE));
}
}
}
In addition to the complete event, I would assume you can listen to the
progress events of URLLoader to get bytesloaded and bytestotal as well,
though I have never bothered with it for XML myself.
