I’m working on an application that uses Flex’s built in Chart’s. As such, I’m sending a request to the server to create some XML, which must run a query for data, then spit it out in XML friendly format.  
It appears the HTTPService is trying to access the xml before it has been fully written.

Is there a way to delay this?
