For the following line: public var xmlLocation:String = "./questionaire.xml";
A few simple questions... Is "questionaire.xml" spelled correctly? Is this file found in the same directory as the Main.mxml? Where is this file located? You can also put <mx:traceTarget /> at the beginning of the source code right after the <mx:Application ...> tag. This will spew out the entire request which is being sent out onto the wire...it may give you some clues.
