xml parsing in flex

a simple little question. I have an xml file and im putting this xml file in an XML object

var receivedXML:XML

In some function, I have:

var xmlList:XMLList = new XMLList();
xmlList = receivedXML.some.attributes.here;
object.functionDoStuff = xmlList;

The function functionDoStuff takes xmlList as its argument:

function functionDoStuff(xmlList:XMLList) {}

When does receivedXML get parsed, is it when we assign it to xmlList, or is it when it gets used in the next instruction by the function functionDoStuff?

It isn't parsed at either point. It is parsed when receivedXML was created. After that point it is an 'object' and not XML.
