This is a bit of a mess and it is a little old (you could write it
better), but it works to do what you are asking. It also requires that
you know the bytes of each file before you load. The way I handled this
is to run the swf once and trace out the bytes and then put them into
the bytes array.

Have you tried not using cdata at all? If your html text is xml

XPath select Nodes returns an array of child nodes.
