I think that XML doesn't provide its own events for binding, so you'd
probably need to do that yourself. So you might needs something more
like:
[Bindable (event="rDataChange")]
private var _xmlRData:XML;
private function rLoaded(event:Event):void{
_xmlRData=XML(event.target.data);
dispatchEvent(new Event('rDataChange'));
}
I'd suspect you might also get errors before _xmlRData has info and
its descendent tags, so maybe something like this might be more
bulletproof:
_xmlRData.child('info').child('author').child('name').text()
