The handling namespaces is not so difficult. Here is a nice example from Darron Schall http://www.darronschall.com/weblog/archives/000223.cfm. Also, direct from the source we have http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=13_Working_with_XML_169_09.html
Note that you can use the * operator to use any namespace eg myXML.*::nodeName In your case this would be helpful, http://www.cameroontrader.com:8080/axis/services/ContactService?method=getContactshas a whacked and super silly namespace game going on. There is no need for a unique namespace for every node in your XML, eh? If there is, please correct me, I'll still say its silly though. I'll point out that in the code example below, the result is not using XML, rather nested Objects and Collections thereof. Use the resultFormat property set to xml or e4x for actual XML. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/XML.html for some great e4x examples too. e4x rawks.
