Thanks Danny, I think you're right, the XML Object is pretty fast and if it is going to take a while to load then storing the ID somewhere else and checking that file is probably the best way to approach this.
Cheers everyone!

Hi there, I am sure I remember coming across a way of reading
an XML file before it is fully loaded though I can't find it.
What I would like to do is load all the information from an
XML file but only if an attribute in the first node has
changed (this is like an ID that the Flash app can use to
decide whether or not to load all of the XML unless it is a
new version). Has anyone else heard of this of or is this
wishful thinking?

You could parse the initial text manually, but in fairness the XML object is pretty fast and I'd imagine you're better off just letting it load. If you want to have an ID for whether the xml has changed, why not just put one
into a different file?
