     public function foo():void
     {
          var xmlDataLoader:XMLDataLoader = new XMLDataLoader();
          xmlDataLoader.autoLoad = false;
          xmlDataLoader.id = "data";
     
          xmlDataLoader.addEventListener(XMLDataReadyEvent.XML_DATA_READY, xmlDataReadyHandler);
          xmlDataLoader.loadData(); 
     }
     
     private function xmlDataReadyHandler(event:XMLDataReadyEvent):void
     {
          var root:XML = event.data;
     
          // Do stuff with the XML...
