xml loader stops animations?

[johannes@work]

Did anyone else notice this behavior?

I am loading a large XML document and while I am waiting for the data to arrive I am playing a load animation (separate mc). Shortly after I initiate loading, the animation stops, long before all data has been received. This isn't by design, is it?

I appreciate any ideas,
Thank you!

Sounds like you've got a similar problem.

I agre with the others the xml is very messy...
but you can also use this frameBased parser at:

i didn't use it myself but maybe it will help you!
If time on one frame takes to long it moves on one frame and goes on parsing...

May be the solution?

Thanks for the link.

I will use loadVariables instead and pass the xml as a string to the parser. Using XML load actually freezes the browser for the duration of the load.
