I have understood that XML.Load is asynchros and when using XML.onLoad you really don’t know when the code will be executed. Please look at my script here: [http://neteject.com/examples/flash.txt](http://neteject.com/examples/flash.txt) (I am running the function LoadAll()) and then look at the output here:

Loading  
LoadLangSettings()  
LoadLangFile1()  
LoadLangFile, id: 42,file: undefined  
LoadLangFile2()  
LoadLangFile, id: undefined,file: undefined  
LoadLangFile1() Success:false  
an error occured  
Error opening URL “file:///E|/proj/chatproject/2005%2D01%2D06/client/lang/undefined”  
LoadLangFile2() Success:false  
an error occured  
Error opening URL “file:///E|/proj/chatproject/2005%2D01%2D06/client/lang/undefined”  
LoadLangSettings() Success:true

As you can see, the function in LoadLangSettings executes later which causes some errors because LoadLanguages (which comes after) needs variables which are created in LoadLangSettings. How can I solve this? A sleep function or what?
