I have written a xml function that I want to use wherever in the flash document I am and undepended of any objects and files. What have I done wrong? It don’t want to return the text.

function getXml(xname,xnr) {

xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlfile = _global.xmldir + xname + "_" + \_global.lang + “.xml”;  
xmlData.load(xmlfile);  
xmlData.onLoad = function(success){  
if (success){  
xmltext = doc.childNodes[xnr].firstChild;  
return xmltext;  
}  
}  
return xmltext;  
}
