Why? haha, sorry, but to me it looks like you just added var owner =
this just to avoid putting trace(this) for no reason other than avoiding
to use "this".
What's the specific reason you did that? I'm guessing you're smarter
than me :)

this is logical: you assign handleXML function to 'xmlDoc.onLoad'
handler which means that 'handleXML' belongs to xmlDoc from now on ...
In such cases, I do the following:
class ParseXML{
private var xmlDoc:XML;
private function handleXML(){
trace(owner);
}
function ParseXML(url:String){
var owner = this;
xmlDoc = new XML();
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlDoc.onLoad = handleXML;
xmlDoc.load(url);
}
}
2. What the hell is going on with "this" here
class ParseXML{
private var xmlDoc:XML;
private function handleXML(){
trace(this);
}
function ParseXML(url:String){
xmlDoc = new XML();
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlDoc.onLoad = handleXML;
xmlDoc.load(url);
}
}
"trace this" in this case traces out the xml doc. Is this because
onLoad = handleXML declares the scope of handleXML as being the xmlDoc?
Sometimes the onLoad = functionReference; syntax weirds me out. I
tend to go for the onLoad = function(){ more specific functionality
here } method
