Whats wrong with this script? it’s not loading right?

```auto
function load_mysaying(loaded) {
	
	if (loaded) {
		_root.saying = this.firstChild.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
		saying_txt.text = _root.saying;
	} 
	
	else {
		saying_txt.text = "not loaded";
	}
}

mysaying1.onLoad = load_mysaying();
mysaying1 = new XML()
mysaying1.ignoreWhite = true;
mysaying1.onLoad = loadXML;
mysaying1.load("say.xml");

```
