Yeah, I should be using DataEvent.UPLOAD_COMPLETE_DATA, but I am not, I am using Event.COMPLETE, but I am still getting access to the .data Property and am seeing my XML status returned correctly.
As Doug pointed out, this may just be a lucky coincidence. At any rate, I think Rich's problem is solved, and I will correct my code to use the the correct event.
