You will have to initiate your "further operations" from the result handler. There is no other way.

Code is as follows: private function myFunction(evt:DragEvent):void { var nameID:String = 'Angelo'; // Call a webservice operation here ws.GetStatus(nameID); Alert.show(String(_xmlGetStatus), 'myFunction'); // I need to use the _xmlGetStatus here... // But the _xmlGetStatus is NULL? // Although in the Result Handler, it is not NULL. } private function getStatusResultHandler(event:ResultEvent) :void { _xmlGetStatus = XML(event.result); Alert.show(String(_xmlGetStatus), 'getStatusResultHandler'); } The result handler for the GetStatus web service operation populates an XML variable which I declared on top of the script (i.e. private var _xmlGetStatus:XML;). When I run my application, myFunction executes but the alert that is shown first is the one in the function myFunction, instead of the one in the result handler. I need to use the values in the XML variable _xmlGetStatus for further operations in function myFunction, but then the value is not populated right away. Any way to handle this? Thanks and regards, Angelo
