Hello,  
From my LoadXML class I am trying to call a method, named onBackgrLoad, which sits inside the Main class. I made the method onBackgrLoad public. Inside the LoadXML class in the method ParseData I added an event listener. This is supposed to call onBackgrLoad but it doesnt work :ogre:

Here is my ParseData method:

```php

private function ParseData(dat: XML) : void
       {
         // Number of products
  numOfProducts = xmlData.*.length();
  trace("Number of Products (LoadXML class): " + numOfProducts);
 
  // Max products as specified by the user
  maxProducts = xmlData.produkte.max.attributes();
 
  trace("Step 3: Parsing data.");
 
   for (var i: uint = 0; i < numOfProducts; i++)
   {
    kategorie* = dat.produkte.produkt.kategorie.attributes()*;
    website* = dat.produkte.produkt.website.attributes()*;
    uebersicht* = dat.produkte.produkt.uebersicht.text()*;
    hintergrund* = dat.produkte.produkt.bild.hintergrund.attributes()*;
    titel* = dat.produkte.produkt.bild.titel.text()*;
    pfad* = dat.produkte.produkt.bild.pfad.attributes()*;
 
    trace("
 Data Parsed for Array " + i);
   }
   trace("LoadXML class completely loaded now");
 
   // When LoadXML class loaded, load test function from the Main class
   addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, Main.onBackgrLoad);
   //OR onBackgrLoad(new Event(Event.COMPLETE));
       }

```
