Access variables across classes.

Question

I have been banging my head on my desk for a little while on this one so any help would be awsome.
What I am trying to do is pull data from an XML file so that I can store paramaters for my FLV player (i.e. flv link, dimensions, video name, etc) I can get the data from the XML file and story it in a dictionary but I am unable to access the data from my main class. I know it has to be something pretty simple but I think i have been looking at it to long to see it.
// Main.as
package includes.action
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    import flash.display.*;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.utils.Dictionary;
    import includes.action.XMLData;
    public class Main extends Sprite
        public var vidSrc:String = "mortgage";
        public var xmlPath:String = "includes/flash/videos.xml";
        public var elements:XMLData;
        private var videoXML:Dictionary;
        // Constructor
        public function Main():void
            //vidSrc = vid;
            //xmlPath = xmlP;
            this.getMovie();
        public function getMovie()
            var vidoes:XMLData = new XMLData(xmlPath,vidSrc);
            videoXML = vidoes.VideoAttributes;
            trace("VIDOEXML COUNT: " + videoXML.length);
            var link:String = vidoes.getVA("name");
            elements = vidoes.getVA("name");
            trace("ELEMENTS: " + elements);
            trace("MAIN:LINK: " + link);
// XMLData.as
package includes.action
    import flash.net.URLLoader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.utils.Dictionary;
    import includes.action.Main;
    public class XMLData
        // Public Vars
        public var VideoAttributes:Dictionary;
        // Private Vars
        private var pXmlPath:String;
        private var pXmlVidSrc:String;
        private var sXMLData:String;
        private  var xmlLoader:URLLoader;
        private  var xmlData:XML;
        // Constructor
        public function XMLData(xmlPath:String, xmlVidSrc:String)
            this.pXmlPath     = xmlPath;
            this.pXmlVidSrc = xmlVidSrc;
            this.xmlLoader  = new URLLoader();
            this.xmlData      = new XML();        
            this.VideoAttributes = new Dictionary();
            xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, this.LoadXML);            
            xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(this.pXmlPath));
        public function getVA(param:String)
            //trace("Request: " + param + " :: " + VideoAttributes[param]);
            return VideoAttributes[param];
        public function LoadXML(e:Event) {
            this.xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
            this.sXMLData = this.xmlData.toString();
            parseXML(this.xmlData);
        public function parseXML(inputXML:XML):void
            trace("==============");
            trace(this.sXMLData);
            trace("==============");           
            for(var i=0; i < inputXML.videos.videoname.length(); i++)
                if(inputXML.videos.videoname[i].@name == this.pXmlVidSrc)
                    // attributes of the video tag
                    var InputAttributes:XMLList = inputXML.videos.videoname[i].attributes();
                    // child nodes of this tag
                    var InputChildren:XMLList     = inputXML.videos.videoname[i].children();
                    // collect attributes to an array
                    // Set Attribute Name and Value
                    for each (var attr:XML in InputAttributes) {
                        var elementname:String = attr.name();
                        this.VideoAttributes[elementname] = attr.valueOf().toString();
                      for(var x:int = 0; x < InputChildren.length(); x++)
                          var childelement:String;
                          var ChildrenAttributes:XMLList = InputChildren[x].attributes();
                          for each(var cattr:XML in ChildrenAttributes)
                              childelement = InputChildren[x].name() + "-" + cattr.name();
                              this.VideoAttributes[childelement] = cattr.valueOf().toString();
basically with all my traces this is what I get back...
// Trace data
VIDOEXML COUNT: undefined
ELEMENTS: null
MAIN:LINK: null
We are in LoadXML
name - no get: mortgage
name - get: mortgage
The trace for Elements and Main:Link should give me back the name of the video but as of yet its either returning NULL or undefined.

Thank you so much you don't understand how much my forehead thanks you.. Adding the dispatch and the listener worked great..
Guess its time for me to read a bit more before I continue.. Again thank you.
