Here's some more context, I'm doing this for usling Flash XML
xmlLoader = newObject("XML")
setCallback(xmlLoader, "OnLoad", #LoadedXML, me)
xmlLoader.Load(fileName)
The problem is that the load function doesn't block and I can't loop
after the load function or file never loads and the callback never
happens.
