Mmmm.. I've been getting into AS3 and XML a little more, so good to
know.
So is your problem solved? I don't want to beat a dead horse. :)
If no, I have run across somewhat a similar case of a return from an
XML not parsing into a string when referenced directly.
so this doesn't work..
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData)
{
//WHY DOES THIS NOT TRACE?
trace("propertyDataXML: "+propertyDataXML);
}
but try setting it to a var then trace..
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData)
{
//SEE IF THIS DOES
var result = propertyDataXML;
trace("propertyDataXML: "+result);
}
or for the namespace/prefix problem and the return try..
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData)
{
//OR MAYBE THIS DOES
var result = "<![CDATA[ "+propertyDataXML+"]]>";
trace("propertyDataXML: "+result);
}
or if you can insert the CDATA in the xml, if you have control over
that aspect.
<Value><![CDATA[ HelloWorld 1]]></Value>
I have also found that when converting spaces and prefixes, using the
HTML special characters instead translates back well.
so using %20 or the for space for example.
Also, there was another post on this list about wrapping your result
in <![CDATA[ ]]>
the subject was "[Flashcoders] AS2.0 - Parsing special HTML
characters in CDATA - onLoad vs onData".
Granted it is an AS2 post, but I think the logic is possibly the
right direction for the resulting data.
Not sure if this is the fix for your situation, but I hope so.
HTH,
Best,

Thanks Karl.
There are some problems doing it that way if you have more than one
namespace or the namespaces contain prefixes. I developed a
workaround based on various things I pieced together from Google,
to "disable" the namespaces by using RegEx and inserting
underscores for the ":", which works for the default and any others
with prefixes:
var xmlString:String = myXMLList.toXMLString();
// define the regex pattern to remove the namespaces from the string
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new RegExp('<*:','gi'),'_');
xmlString = xmlString.replace(new RegExp('xmlns=','gi'),'xmlns_=');
var finalXML:XML = XML(xmlString);
However, I would love to know why it has to be done this way. Seems
kinda hackish.
But it is kinda cool, it will turn this:
<GetUserProfileByNameResponse xmlns="http://microsoft.com/
webservices/SharePointPortalServer/UserProfileService"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<GetUserProfileByNameResult>
<PropertyData>
<IsPrivacyChanged>false</IsPrivacyChanged>
<IsValueChanged>false</IsValueChanged>
<Name>UserProfile_GUID</Name>
<Privacy>Public</Privacy>
<Values>
<ValueData>
<Value xsi:type="q1:guid" xmlns:q1="http://microsoft.com/
wsdl/types/">cce6e082-0423-4d2d-930c-bf522a9852b1</Value>
</ValueData>
</Values>
</PropertyData>
Into this very workable XML:
<GetUserProfileByNameResponse xmlns_="http_//microsoft.com/
webservices/SharePointPortalServer/UserProfileService"
xmlns_soap="http_//schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns_xsi="http_//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns_xsd="http_//www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<GetUserProfileByNameResult>
<PropertyData>
<IsPrivacyChanged>false</IsPrivacyChanged>
<IsValueChanged>false</IsValueChanged>
<Name>UserProfile_GUID</Name>
<Privacy>Public</Privacy>
<Values>
<ValueData>
<Value xsi_type="q1_guid" xmlns_q1="http_//microsoft.com/
wsdl/types/">cce6e082-0423-4d2d-930c-bf522a9852b1</Value>
</ValueData>
</Values>
</PropertyData>

I believe this one strips out namespaces.

I'm going crazy trying to drill down into a XMLList which has
namespaces declared. I have been able to go into a few layers of the
original XML with namespaces using namespace definitions in AS3, but
now I am stuck at the last level.
The XMLList I have pared it down to has a length of 1 and has
namespaces declared, which is throwing things off. How can I get to
the <PropertyData /> nodes given that namespaces are involved?
The following code can be copied and pasted into a fresh .fla as a
test case:
/*--------------------TEST CASE-------------------------*/
var myXMLList:XMLList = XMLList(<GetUserProfileByNameResponse
xmlns="http://microsoft.com/webservices/SharePointPortalServer/
UserProfileService" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<GetUserProfileByNameResult>
<PropertyData>
<Value>HelloWorld 1</Value>
</PropertyData>
<PropertyData>
<Value>HelloWorld 1</Value>
</PropertyData>
</GetUserProfileByNameResult>
</GetUserProfileByNameResponse>);
var pnNs:Namespace = new Namespace("http://microsoft.com/
webservices/SharePointPortalServer/UserProfileService");
var myXMLList2:XMLList = myXMLList.pnNs::GetUserProfileByNameResult;
trace("myXMLList2: "+myXMLList2)//Traces fine, except more namespaces
(xmlns) appear as attributes in first node.
for each (var propertyDataXML:XML in myXMLList2..PropertyData) {
//WHY DOES THIS NOT TRACE?
trace("propertyDataXML: "+propertyDataXML); }
/*------------------------------------------------------*/
I also tried this for the loop as well:
/*------------------------------------------------------*/
for each (var propertyDataXML2:XML in
myXMLList2.pnNs::GetUserProfileByNameResult..PropertyData)
{
//WHY DOES THIS NOT TRACE?
trace("propertyDataXML: "+propertyDataXML2); }
/*------------------------------------------------------*/
And why does the trace on myXMLList2 show an XML list where there is
more namespace applied: "<GetUserProfileByNameResponse
xmlns=http://microsoft.com/webservices/SharePointPortalServer/
UserProfileService..." ??
Any help is MUCH appreciated.
