I don't think you're listening to the service

I'd set listeners for error events to make sure the file is actually
being loaded successfully.  Just copy/paste/edit from example in the
livedocs (

<http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/net/URLLoader.html> ).

I'm trying to do what i think should be pretty simple. 
I want to dispatch an event when my xml has completed lodaing. 
For the life of me i can't figure out why event does not get
dispatched from "handleXML", I know the listner works because I've
tested it by dispatching the same event from a button click.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
