 I've been trying to build an array of objects of it and flatten it 
 down so that each item node would simply be an entry in the array. 
 If I use a recursive function, I only get the deepest node 
 returned. If I use the for each (var prop:XML in myXML.item) 
loop 
 I only get the children of the root and not the grandchildren. How 
 do I get EVERY node???
 
 Thanks!

Hi Tracy..

Thanks so much, your code got me on the right track.  Some slight 
modifications gave me exactly what I needed!  As for the XML, I must 
not have copied/pasted enough info from the full xml file.

Thanks again for your help!  You rock!!!

Wayne

 Try this sample app.  If I have understood you correctly, it 
should do
 what you want.  The key is the descendants property.
