With the following code I get an output of:

true  
true

It seems that the onLoad method fires twice ??  
I know the .load method has to come after the .onLoad function for the function to work but that doesn´t seem to be the problem in this case.

Can anyone please tell me what is going on here ?

[AS]xmlData = new XML();  
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;  
xmlData.onLoad = function(loaded) {  
trace(loaded);  
};  
xmlData.load("./myXML.xml");[/AS]

I still have this same problem developing Open Source Flash / ActionScript in Eclipse. Is it possible my Adobe Flash player has a bug?

Does anyone else experience this same problem?

Thanks,  
Kevin

Not likely. More likely you are doing something wrong. Show the full code or link source.
