If your data is that consistent and all you need is to transfer it to

using while loops, to do this in very little time.

dynamic access to the xml. Is that not
Hi,
My data is not this simple or static.

The XML is going to be dynamic, hence I need to parse it using

The only way is to compile the classes into a seperate SWF's and at runtime
when you make the check load in the appropriate SWF. Not a very simple
solution.
I've found that a good solution, if you can afford to combine the classes
into one, is making a runtime check on functionality.
Yeah, maybe, that's an interesting approach actually.

To use Xpath, if you are using the xfactorstudios classes (I don't know
