Please excuse & move topic - If posted in the wrong category. This my 1st post

Hello All,

I'm currently hacking together code snippets I've found and have edited
together to make
an "Events Calendar" for a bar/pub/night club. I have an xml document which
has the
[event] [date] [time] [image] for a band performance. Everything works just
fine EXCEPT
the "mx.controls.Loader" doesn't want to load the image.

PLEASE let me know what's going on here and where my mistake is located. If
you need
more info please let me know. THANK YOU!

Best Regards,
-Tom Long

I would be happy if u show the entire code.
However the only problem in your code seems that you have written
this.myXML.load() before the onLoad event.Put this line after the
declaration of all events.
