Please, do, the default resultFormat is evil ;)
Here is a quick, untested start.
_acPremiums = new ArrayCollection()
var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result);
var xlPremiums:XMLList = xmlResult.premium; //or xmlResult.children();
var xmlPremium:XML
var voNew:MyVO;
for () var i:int=0;i<xlPremiums.length();i++) {
xmlPremium = xlPremiums[i];
voNew = new MyVO;
voNew.fill(xmlPremium); //assumes a fill method. You could also
simply assign the vo properties here
_acPremiums.addItem(voNew);
}

Hi, Tracy. Hadn't thought about that. I'll work on implementing your
suggestion. Thanks.
