Does that really work? I know you said you got it from the help docs and all, but I always thought the Flash player, when it came to loading XML, ran single threaded in the sense that all other caluculations had to stop until the XML was loaded. I ask because with the code you posted, I tried it on a 2mb XML file and pctLoaded traces NaN, and my_xml.getBytesLoaded traces 0 the entire time the file is loading.
