[flexcoders] Getting xml in code only

[Steve Hueners]

All the samples i've come across so far show the mxml route - I'm able
to instantiating and fireing the send correctly with:

public var myRequest:HTTPService = new HTTPService;
public var modules:XMLListCollection;
                
public function MenuItemEnum ( value:String, ordinal:int )
{
        myRequest.url = "/xml/modules.xml";
        myRequest.resultFormat="e4x"
        
        myRequest.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onResult)
        myRequest.send();  //>>>>>> Is hit.
}
                
private function onResult(e:ResultEvent):void
{
        modules = e.result as XMLListCollection;

}

private function onFault(e:FaultEvent):void
{
        Alert.show(e.fault.message, "Could not load");
}


But the handlers never fire.
