for those of you who use xml in flash, let’s say you use the following xml document:

\<main\>  
\<titlebar\>  
\<filename\>something.jpg\</filename\>  
\<text\>This is text in the titlebar\</text\>  
\</titlebar\>  
\<body\>  
\<filename\>somethingelse.jpg\</filename\>  
\</body\>  
\</main\>

and you wanted to access the value in main/titlebar/text… how would you go about it? do you have to use the nextSibling command and a for loop to count down until you get to the one you want?
