Wait - I had little confidence in myself. I think I figured it out with
your suggestion Jesse. This seems to work - is it pretty rock solid?
Seems like it works fine now, but don't know if there are any problems
with this approach?
import mx.utils.Delegate;
class com.icfconsulting.xml.XLoad{
public var complete:Boolean = false;
public var xmlObjects:Array = new Array();
private var numFiles:Number;
private var xmlFiles:Array;
private var loadCount:Number=0;
function XLoad(xmlFiles:Array){
this.xmlFiles = xmlFiles;
this.numFiles = this.xmlFiles.length
for(var i=0; i<this.numFiles; i++){
this.xmlObjects[i] = loadXML(i);
}
};
function loadXML(num:Number):XML{
var xmlObject = new XML();
xmlObject.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlObject.loadCount = 0;
xmlObject.onLoad = Delegate.create(this, loadSuccess);
xmlObject.load(this.xmlFiles[num])
return xmlObject;
};
function loadSuccess():Void{
this.loadCount++;
trace(this.loadCount);
if(this.loadCount == this.numFiles){
trace("all files loaded!");
}
};
};
