You want to make it an ArrayCollection of typed objects along the lines of:
[Bindable]
public class NewsItem
{
public var newsId:Number;
public var newsDate:Date;
public var newsTitle:String;
}
And for each node in your xml you would
var tmp:NewsItem = new NewsItem();
tmp.newsId = xmlNode.newsId;
tmp.newsDate = myDateConversionFunction(xmlNode.mewsDate);
tmp.newsTitle = xmlNode.newsTitle;
myCollection.addItem(tmp);
