I'd set listeners for error events to make sure the file is actually being
loaded successfully. Just copy/paste/edit from example in the livedocs (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/flash/net/URLLoader.html).

I'm trying to do what i think should be pretty simple.
I want to dispatch an event when my xml has completed lodaing.
For the life of me i can't figure out why event does not get
dispatched from "handleXML", I know the listner works because I've
tested it by dispatching the same event from a button click.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

_loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleXML);
_loader.load(new URLRequest("xml/data.xml"));
}
public function handleXML(event:Event):void{
dispatchEvent(new Event("xmlLoaded", true)); // this never fires
_xml = new XML(_loader.data);
}
}
}
