I guess you haven't explained very well yet. But let's present you some
approach that MAY be what you are looking. That's saving the reference.
var lastMatch:XML;
for (...){
if( condition_matched){
lastMatch = (absolute path); //
myXml.books[0].book.covers.cover[2].items[2].data123
for example
break;
}
}
then you can use lastMatch as a reference to that absolute path.
