Hi to all of you,

I've been writing an external ActionScript class (named SQL), designed to handle XML-PhP-MySQL flux.
The SQL object contains a property named "result" (an XML object that receives the XML from a sendAndLoad();

I've written a method named getXML() in order to load the XML from an external PhP file :

Code:

public function getXML():Boolean {
		var XMLtemp:XML = new XML(this.queryText); // an XML-formatted query that will be sent by php
		var fileloadedOK:Boolean = true;
		this.result.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
			if (success) {
				trace("XML successfully loaded");
								if(this.resultat.status != 0) // Bad XML
									   fileloadedOK = false;
			} else {
				trace("Error while downloading the file");
				fileloadedOK = false;
			}
		};
		XMLtemp.sendAndLoad("http://localhost/myfile.php", this.result); // Sends the query to the server and gets an XML object back
		return fileloadedOK;
	}

This method returns a boolean (true for successful, false for failed) and sets the SQL.result property with an XML object that can be later converted into a

string, or an array, or simply returned as XML through methods such as SQL.asString(), .asXML() or .asArray().

The problem is : the XML.load() method is asynchronous, so that means the program directly goes to the instruction "return fileloadedOK" before the XML is

actually correctly loaded. The methods asString, asXML and asArray must use SQL.result as a base to return a result, so errors occur, as the XML is still not

loaded.
I tried a while(this.result.loaded != true) but all I get is an infinite loop :-/
I've been told to use a listener, but I searched the web and didn't find anything that rang some bells, anyone has an idea how to do ?

Thanx in advance
