SendAndLoad

Question

Hi,
How can i implement the sendAndLoad concept in as3 for loading an xml from the following url:
"http://www.openinghorizons.com/Test/NavText.cfm"
I have given as follow:
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
//variables.myXML = XML(<test>This is a test</test>);
request.url = "http://www.openinghorizons.com/Test/NavText.cfm";
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
//request.data = variables;
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function completeHandler (event:Event):void
    try
        var pXml:XML = new XML (event.target.data.myResult);
    catch (e:Error)
        trace ("XML was not found!");
But its not working

You need to call the load() method of the URLLoader.
loader.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
loader.load(request);
then try changing this line
var pXml:XML = new XML (event.target.data.myResult);
to
var pXml:XML = new XML (event.target.data);
then add in a trace statement for the XML instance
trace(pXml.toString());
Doing all the above traces out the XML for me.
