AS3: return an array from an event listener?

Question

I have an event listener applied to xml loading and it is currently tracking the values ​​it captures, which is good, but what I want is to return an array for me. I have the creation and return of an array from "LoadXML" (it returns an array), but I cannot get this to work with an event listener.

The event listener works fine with the LoadXML function, but I have no idea how to get the returned array to use, this is an example of how my event listener works:

xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());

and my guess about how I will take an array (this will not work):

var rArray:Array = xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML());

so instead i tried the following:

xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function():Array{
    var rData:Array = LoadXML(datahere);
    return rData;
}

but it’s not worth it either.

So: How to return an array from eventlistener? Thank you

var returnedArray:Array;

loadinformation("http://website.com/xml.xml");

function loadinformation(xmlurl:String):Array{
    var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    var xmlData:XML = new XML();
    xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
    xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest(xmlurl));
}

function LoadXML(e:Event):void {
    xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
    returnedArray = convertXML(xmlData);
}

function convertXML(xml):Array{
    // Does some stuff with the XML and returns an array
    return rArray;
}
