Can you set an id attr in the <post> tag like..

<post id="message_123456789">

Best,

I'm looping trough XML defining message board posts and inserting them into a SQLLite database. My problem is I need to insert replies to posts and don't know an ID to create the parent-child relationship. Code example:

<post>
<content>Good morning!</content> <replys> <reply> <content>Er, good afternoon I mean.</ content> </reply> </replys> </post>

for each (var post:XML in _xml.day.(@day == _day).post) {
    var postVO:PostVO = new PostVO();
    postVO.content = post.content.text();
    var postEvent:FDataEvent = new FDataEvent(FDataEvent.NEW_POST);
    postEvent.param = postVO;
    dispatchEvent(postEvent);

    for each (var reply:XML in post.replys.*) {
        trace('who is my parent?', reply.content.text());
    }
}

The class this happens in is unaware of the class listening for the FDataEvent. Would it be a hassle to maintain and understand if I made the class aware and inserted the child replies with a listener for a custom event which would return the ID? The way I'm inclined to do it now if to create a UUID for each post which I'd know when looping through the replies.

Thoughts?
