I have my XML data loading into my SWF OK.
However, is there any way to call that tag name instead of the child node
number?
So instead of something like this:
myDate_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[2];

Can do something like this?
myDate_txt.text = my_xml.firstChild.myDate;

Is that possible? I know that does not work the way it is written, but is
there code that you can do something like that?

And how do you call the next child (cousin) if you have an XML document like
this:

<people>
   <friend>
      <name>Bob</name>
       <age>39</age>
   </friend>
   <cousin>
      <name>Sally</name>
      <age>29</age>
   </cousin>
</people>
