I've written a class to deal with this. Just add an event listener to the
instance and upon load completion it dispatches a "complete" event. You can
then access the xml with instancename.xml;
:)
package efnx.net {
import flash.net.URLLoader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.events.EventDispatcher;
