Darn. I was so hoping.

No.
Does Flash support basic string handling?
Of course.
If the answers to the above are Yes (which I suspect they are), then why is the option of someone writing an XMPP library that works they way all of the other languages work not discussed?
Such a library exists. I wrote it. http://www.jabberstudio.org/projects/xiff Not sure what you mean by "the way all of the other languages work" ...
The problem is this: Flash does not support generic tcp/ip connections. We are entirely limited to the XMLSocket object that is native in the player for persistent socket connections. Macromedia is very careful about the security of the Flash plug-in, so it's doubtful we'll see generalized TCP/IP any time in the future.
The only other option we have is what LinuxWolf mentioned by using non-persistent connections over HTTP. I'm looking into that now ...
