I've found this as version of xpath very very handy..
easy to implement and use also..

Thanks Jester, but databases are not my forte, to do it quickly I'd
like to just use ActionScript only. Is there anyway I can just load
specific sections of the XML or do I have to load the whole file into
memory?

Does it have to stay in that format? Meaning, can you convert it and throw
it into a database? Paging is still an effective methodology, and if you
can throw it in a database, you can then do what Flash does best and load
what you need on the fly.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Massive XML files and Flash
Hi,
I find myself in a situation where I need to build a tool to analyse
lots of xml data. Thousands of records containing a lot of strings as
well as numericals. I'm sure there are lots of more suitable
applications and languages, but I the only one I know is Actionscript.
Luckily, I know it very well and am more than confident at parsing
XML; however, I've never delt with data on this scale before. So, I'm
interested to know if anyone has any experience of dealing with this
sort of build, and whether it is feasible to expect Flash to handle
it.
More on the data: I need to cross-reference and check data accross 3
xml files. They are all big, but the biggest, by way of an example in
Excel form, has 25,000 records each with around 30 fields, often very
string heavy.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated?
