[flexcoders] Flex pulling in data from the HTML and can HTML hold my XML dataprovider?

[dorkie dork from dorktown]

I have a very complicated project that I would like your help with. The reason it's complicated is because I can't change anything in the backend, the information getting pushed to the client. I can modify the html and rearrange it to my liking. So my only option is to do it the ghetto way and pull data into flex off the html page somehow. 
I know what I want to do. That is, once Flex loads, go to the HTML browser and get the value inside of some nodes and then put that value in my Flex. I think I can probably find a way to do that with simple strings and numbers but I also am trying to get XML off the page. Not even sure how or where to put xml in an html document but I can ask for that. Does that make sense?
Check this out: * Browser loads HTML page in browser - > Embedded Flex swf loads - > Embedded Flex swf looks at html page and gets values off page (maybe tries to get the document as a string somehow and parse it in an xml object, maybe i can use external interface somehow, not sure what to do here) - > Finds info it needs in html page and displays it in Flex (much cooler of course)
Anyone know how to do this and does anyone know how to put xml in html? Thanks guys,JudahPS i *have* been reading the manuals (which are well written btw) but the project is due this week and i was just given the specs :(
