I wrote up a post on it a while back: http://userflex.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/xml-ns-e4x/ This technique can also be applied when you don't know what namespaces are specified beforehand, since you can iterate over the XML.namespaceDeclarations() array to determine what ones are used in the XML. Hope that helps! James,

Namespaces is something I'll have to look into a bit more. I'll give both of those suggestions a shot though, and see what I can make work... I was trying to extract the paths of the icons from the applicationDescriptor files in an AIR application (for my <a href="http://www.psyked.co.uk/actionscript/application-information-class-for-air.htm" rel="nofollow">ApplicationInfo</a> class) but was getting stumped.
