Not only does it work as DOM parser, you can pass Macromedia's XML objects it it. Voila XML as it is supposed to be. http://svn.indivision.net/codebase/classes/net/indivision/data/ Why would you use Macromedia’s wack XML classes when you could use indivisions XMLConstruct.

What I usually advise people to do is use array notation to escape from the compiler errors, that way you don't require anyone else you share your code with to have changed the intrinsic classes: myXML["idMap"] _global["setTimeout"]() More information here as well: http://www.peterelst.com/blog/2005/12/19/flash-8-settimeout-and-xmlidmap HTH!
