Yeah, you're very close. Now it's just a matter of xml. I'd start by tracing
o. If the children are still in o, then drill down. Otherwise, you'll have to
go and find the nodes; like you're trying below. Some things that you can
start with:
trace( o.toXMLString() );
var myXMLChildren:XMLList = o.children();
o.child("myProperty")[0].valueOf();
