XML load coming back empty?

[Wolfie7873]

I'm using AS3.

For testing purposes, I have a very simple XML document:

<decorations>
	<smallgift>
		<id>smallgift1</id>
		<visible>true</visible>
		<dedication>
			"For our beloved Sheepie, Oberon, from Titania and Puck."
		</dedication>	
	</smallgift>
	<smallgift>
		<id>smallgift2</id>
		<visible>false</visible>
		<dedication>
			""
		</dedication>
	</smallgift>
</decorations>

I want to load this using AS3:

var decorations:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "tree.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);

function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
{
    decorations = XML(myLoader.data);
    trace("Data loaded.");
}

trace(decorations.toXMLString());

When I compile and test, I get the "Data Loaded." Message, but nothing from the XML file is there. The second trace statement does nothing, and I can't access any of the data. Ideas?

Place your second trace inside the xmlLoaded function.
