title: Load xml file in flex before application start/initialises
body: <p>I've got a configuration xml file that I need to parse for values before a flex application laods.</p>
  
  <p>I've created a static class that allows for the values in the xml config file to be retrieved.</p>
  
  <p>I'm initialising this class when the application first loads but as the xml file is loaded with a Loader class that loads a synchronously the class is being asked for values before the xml file is actually loaded - so it is throwing a error.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to load this xml file synchronously or can anyone suggest a work around to this?  We cannot embed the file as a class variable as we need to be able to change the values remotely.</p>
