Problem loading XML, does thing in the wrong order.

Question

Hi.
Im completely new to Flash/AS but I have some experience in
other programming languages. Im trying to load some external data
into my program via the attached code code (somewhat trimmes, but
the essentials are there)

What happens when i execute is this:
System1 loadSystemParameters() start
System1 loadSystemParameters() end
vis.fla: 0
System1 loadingComplete() start
Settings: 600
System1 loadingComplete( end)

So the code in the vis.fla is executed to the end before all
the data from settings.xml is read and I do not want that. I tried
searching and reading about this, but i cannot find the solution.
Is there some kind of flag you can set so that the system
won´t execute the code after the loadSystemParameters() before
all of the function is finished?

Thanks

if you want to ensure something happens after your xml is loaded, then trigger that something at the end of your complete event handler.

so in your case, put the line:
trace("vis.fla: " + settings.getUpdateInterval());
at the end of your 'loadingComlete' handler - where you have the line:
trace("System1 loadingComplete( end)");
