Acessing an URLLoader's "parent"

[maguskrool]

And hello again...

I created a custom class called MyFile.as (see attached code), representing a css or xml file to be loaded. The purpose of this class is to gather several properties relating to a file, so they can be used by several .swfs that will be loaded later.

I create an instance of MyFile, load some content with an URLLoader (uld) and listen for the load to complete. How can I then reference the MyFile instance to which the URLLoader belongs?

Thank you.

//MyFile.as
//I'm not including the package and import stuff.

public class MyFile {
   private var _urlLoader:URLLoader;
   private var _special:String;
   //getter and setter for _urlLoader: uld; _special: spl;

   public function MyFile($special:String):void {
      _special = $special;
   }
}

//.fla
var myOne:MyFile = new MyFile("blah one");
myOne.uld = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("one.xml");
myOne.uld.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleAll);
//same for myTwo,...,myN.


function handleAll(evt:Event):void {
   //Should on act on the myN.spl property.
}

MyFile.as

package {
	import flash.net.URLLoader;
	import flash.net.URLRequest;

	public class MyFile extends URLLoader {
		public var spl:String;
		//use getter and setter if you like

		public function MyFile($req:URLRequest, $special:String):void {
			super($req);
			spl = $special;
		}
	}
}

FLA

var myOne:MyFile = new MyFile(new URLRequest("one.xml"), "blah one");
myOne.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleAll);
//same for myTwo,...,myN.

function handleAll(evt:Event):void {
	//Should on act on the myN.spl property.
	trace(evt.target.spl);
}

Output
[tt]blah one[/tt]
