Have you tried to work with your data across three xml files with xsl?
Using xsl with a server side scripting language, you could get that data in
the format you need before loading it with the AS XML() object. Then,
thanks to Flash, you can use the native XPath() object to select elements
and their attributes for use in your production.

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?
