And lets say I put a flag in there, so something like
var safe = true;
Then I go on, and need to use my XML later on in my code, if I just test for
a basic condition of the safe variable, it may or may not be done loading.
So, how do know when it is done and you can move on, do I shove all my
future code in a repeat while safe != true or something?
Stumped....
Thanks again
