Delaying external text load

programming flash
1

I have used the tween class to make my text backdrop appear with an elastic FX.

I have then loaded text from an XML file into my text box, but the text appears before the elastic FX has finished.

I have kept the AS for both in a single frame,is it possible to get the text to appear after the elastic FX has finished?

AS:

stop();

//tween AS

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

function doTweens(myClip:MovieClip):Void { 
var tw:Tween = new Tween (myClip,"_width",Elastic.easeOut,0,330, 1, true);
var tw:Tween = new Tween (myClip,"_height",Elastic.easeOut,0,500, 1, true);
}
doTweens(txtBox);


//text
function loadXML(loaded) {
	if (loaded) {
		xmlNode = this.firstChild;
		article = [];
		description = [];
		main = [];
		total = xmlNode.childNodes.length;
		for (i=0; i<total; i++) {
			description* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
			main* = xmlNode.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
		}
		firstArticle();
	} else {
		content = "file not loaded!";
	}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("xml/deejays.xml");

function firstArticle() {
	if (loaded == filesize) {
		head_txt.text = description[0];
		main_txt.htmlText = main[0];
	}
}
