Do you have an example of the xml? Does it have actionscript in it, or is it just laid out components? Laying out components is easy... figuring out and running AS is quite a bit more difficult.
I've done some experiments with loading pseudo-mxml at runtime and displaying it, but there are some caveats. First, you need to make sure any components you *MIGHT* use are compiled in the swf. I ended up having to do something like so in order for that to happen: import mx.controls.Panel; private var myNonExistingPanel:Panel; Then you have to worry about setting properties and styles on the component, based on (usually) the attributes in the xml. Not using attributes but nested tags makes things a little bit more difficult. Hope that helps a bit.
