Hello,

I’d like to pass a parameter into the xml.onload function.

Usually we have:  
myXML = new XML();  
myXML.onLoad = handleLoad;  
myXML.load(“whatever.xml”);

function handleLoad(success){  
if(success){  
//do something  
}else{  
//do something else  
}  
}

MY GOAL:  
something like:  
p=this;  
myXML.onLoad = handleLoad(success,p)  
…

function handleLoad(success,p){  
…  
}

I want to be able to pass a parameter § into the handleLoad function as well as track the onload success…

How do you do this?

thanks in advance…
