ActionScript 2.0 :: Making XML.onLoad Return A Value?

After using Google and these forums I've discovered that it's not possible to return a value directly from this function. However, I still need some kind of workaround, so here is my scenario:This function overrides the default onLoad function when I load up my XML. It works perfectly.

[Code].....

I want to somehow use this functionality to return the value of sContent when it is loaded, so I can use the line

PHP Code:

returnContent(x) 

in conjunction with the following function

PHP Code:

function returnContent(Nume) {    xmlContent.load(x);} 

to return a string from the xml on an on load event.

I.e. - on mouseclick, a texfield.text variable is assigned to returnContent(x);
