Thank you, that helped a lot. For anyone else trying to filter by date, here's
the line of code:
var today:Date = new Date();
var showXML:XMLList = result_xml.item.(new Date(date.toString()) >= today);
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - XML Filter by Date
You can filter XML with arbitrary boolean functions, so the answer is
definitely yes.
See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/13_Working_with_XML_08.html#131880
One of the examples there shows XML stored in var x with a list of type elements, and you can use this syntax to get an XMLList of
employees with id attributes over 300:
x.employee.(@id > 300)
Similarly, if you had a birthdate field stored as milliseconds since 1970
you could filter on that like so:
x.employee.(new Date(@birthdate).getFullYear() == 2000)
to return a list of employees who were born in the year 2000. (Presumably a
short list. :-)
