I'm using an XML document to create a file. Without going into details, each
node of the XML is to be turned into an object, based on the kind of node.
So for example:
<xml><item type='Big' size='3' /><item type='Small' size='2'></xml>
This would become two objects, one an instance of MyBigClass, one an
instance of MySmallClass. In an old version of this, each one was a
MovieClip with the appropriate linkage name. Now I'm trying to do it more
flexibly with objects (so that in particular, each object type can inherit a
standard class, and so that I don't have to have a separate movieClip for
each object type).
