Looks like that would 'work' but it is usually a bad idea to pass a view component to a service method.
Another option would be to have the method that is parsing the XML file to fire off events (or in PureMVC notifications) that something managing the progress bar can listen for. The event (or notification) could tell the listener how far along the update method is. Not sure how well it would actually work but in theory it should work. It would be better if you could page the data as Tom suggested because one big fat XML response will still take some time initially just to receive during which time you still would have the user waiting with no status other than 'busy'.
