Use an e4x expression. They all return XMLList, so watch for that if you need to assign a result to an XML var. If you are sure there is only one node in the result, do var xmlResult:XML = xmllistResult[0];
See the documentation for e4x syntax and usage, post back here if you have a specific question or problem.

For example, it is easy to create a graph that shows GDP by country. (which creates a graph for all countries in XML file) But how can narrow or filter these searches? I want to have the graph show only the countries that are in region x for instance. Can anyone show me how to create a new variable that is derived from a subset of the XML file? I am new to actionscript but the logic would seem to be: create new variable from XML source based on a given criteria (i.e., region == "Asia") Any help?
