copied!<p>The problem is you have a callback for the textLoaded, but you aren't waiting for it to load, before you call the getter(). Try this first:</p> <pre><code>public function get getter():String { if(test) { return test.questionText; } else { return "Data not available"; } </code></pre> <p>but you can also pass a function reference to the Question class to pass the value back when it's loaded. You might want to think about preloading the questions in any event.</p> <pre><code>public class Question extends Sprite { private var test:String; private var callback:Function; public function Question(_callback:Function) { this.callback = _callback; // xml var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("./files/multiplechoice.xml"); var urlLoad:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); urlLoad.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded); urlLoad.load(urlReq); } private function textLoaded(e:Event):void { urlLoad.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, textLoaded); XML.ignoreWhitespace = true; var xml:XML = new XML(e.target.data); // check if loaded this.callback(xml); } } // in the main class private function multiHandler(e:MouseEvent):void { // if button clicked make a Question object var q:Question = new Question(this.questionCallback); } public function questionCallback(xml:XML):void // get the value from the xml var tField:TextField = new TextField(); tField.text = <<parsed xml....>>; container.addChild(tField); } </code></pre> <p>You might want to make the textfield and question class properties and not keep the scope local to the functions so you access to them as well.</p>
