AS3/ XML problem with xml node not being parsed

Here is the XML section I am trying to load into several dynamic text fields within the Flash piece. Problem: I am not sure what to do with the syntax forming of the XML within the AS3 path structure. It keeps erring out. Please look at my code for the Flash and the XML, which will not be able to be changed.

Within the code below I recieve:
1078: Label must be a simple identifier

XML node I need to pull in from:

<fh:FlightHistory FlightHistoryId="163872441" DepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:00" ArrivalDate="2009-06-30 10:33" PublishedDepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:00" PublishedArrivalDate="2009-06-30 10:33" ScheduledGateDepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:00" EstimatedGateDepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:00" ActualGateDepartureDate="2009-06-30 08:56" ScheduledGateArrivalDate="2009-06-30 10:33" EstimatedGateArrivalDate="2009-06-30 10:21" ScheduledRunwayDepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:07" EstimatedRunwayDepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:06" ActualRunwayDepartureDate="2009-06-30 09:07" ScheduledRunwayArrivalDate="2009-06-30 10:19" EstimatedRunwayArrivalDate="2009-06-30 10:27" FlightNumber="2795" StatusCode="A" Status="Active" CreatorCode="O" ScheduledAirTime="72" ScheduledBlockTime="93" DepartureAirportTimeZoneOffset="-5" ArrivalAirportTimeZoneOffset="-5" ScheduledAircraftType="ERJ" DepartureGate="22" ArrivalGate="B79" TrackingEnabled="False">
        <fh:Airline AirlineCode="XE" Name="Expressjet"/>
        <fh:Origin AirportCode="TUL" Name="Tulsa International Airport" City="Tulsa" StateCode="OK" CountryCode="US"/>
        <fh:Destination AirportCode="IAH" Name="George Bush Intercontinental Airport" City="Houston" StateCode="TX" CountryCode="US"/>
      </fh:FlightHistory>

AS3 syntax:

flight_mc.airline_txt.text = contentInput.channel.item.fh:FlightHistory;

contentInput.channel.item
being the XML path to the fh:FlightHistory node which is not being read by Flash

Thanks for any feedback and or references!
