Hi. I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem.  
I start my frame by creating an XML object and declaring its onLoad function as follows:

var myXML:XML;  
myXML=new XML();  
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;  
myXML.load(“myfile.xml”);

myXML.onLoad=function(success:Boolean){  
if(success){  
trace(“good”);  
}  
}

Some time later on. I wish to reload the XML object with a different XML file or the same XML file but the onLoad function only runs once! I tried just using a myXML.load call as well as deleting the object, creating a new XML object and loading a new file but none of this works. Any suggestions as to how to tackle this problem?
