XML won't load - Help

Question

Hi All
I'm trying to load an xmal document with a structure of :
<aboutus>
<person>
<name></name>
<title></title>
<description></description>
<contact>
<telephone></telephone>
<mobile></mobile>
<email></email>
</contact>
</person>
</aboutus>
And this is my code so far
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="860" height="560" label="About Us" show="resetState(event)"
initialize="myAboutUs.send()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable]
private var aboutUsData:XMLList = new XMLList;
private function aboutUsResultHandler(event:ResultEvent) :
void {
aboutUsData = event.result.aboutus.person;
private function resetState(event:Event) : void {
currentState = '';
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="myAboutUs" url="xml/aboutus.xml"
result="aboutUsResultHandler(event)" resultFormat="e4x" />
<!-- BASE STATE -->
<mx:VBox id="vbAbout1" x="5" y="5" width="850" height="50"
horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:LinkButton label="Who We Are" id="lbAbout"
click="this.currentState = 'cvAboutUs'"/>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox id="vbAbout2" x="5" y="55" width="850"
height="500" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:Text id="txtAboutUs"
width="750" height="400"
textAlign="center"
color="#000080"
enabled="true">
</mx:Text>
</mx:VBox>
<!-- CHILD STATES -->
<mx:states>
<mx:State name="cvAboutUs">
<mx:RemoveChild target="{txtAboutUs}"/>
<mx:RemoveChild target="{vbAbout2}"/>
<mx:SetProperty target="{lbAbout}" name="label"
value="Back"/>
<mx:SetEventHandler target="{lbAbout}" name="click"
handler="this.currentState = ''"/>
<mx:AddChild position="lastChild">
<mx:HBox x="5" y="55" width="850" height="500"
id="aboutUsMain" horizontalGap="50">
<mx:VBox width="400" height="500" id="aboutUsImage"
horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:ComboBox width="200" height="20"
dataProvider="{aboutUsData}" labelField="name" />
<mx:Spacer width="200" height="20"/>
<mx:Image id="auPic" width="200" height="200" />
<mx:Label id="auName" text="Name" width="200"
height="20"/>
<mx:Label id="auTitle" text="Job Title" width="200"
height="20"/>
<mx:Label id="auEmail" text="Email Address" width="200"
height="20"/>
</mx:VBox>
<mx:VBox width="400" height="500" id="aboutUsDetail"
horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="middle">
<mx:Text text="Who We Are" width="300" height="400"
id="aboutUsText"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:AddChild>
</mx:State>
</mx:states>
</mx:Canvas>
What i'm trying to do is to load the xml file and display the
relevant information in the label boxs and text boxes.
Alternatively i'd like to use a dynamic link button instead
of the combobox.
Any suggestions .... ?
Many thanks

It's actually a sandbox issue. But close...
