The help files give an example like this to convert a sting to xml

```php
var xml:XML =
        <p>hello</p>;
trace(xml); // hello
trace(xml.toXMLString()); // <p>hello</p>

```

However I need it to be dynamic and more like this:

```php

var newXml:XML =
for (var i:int=0;i<oldXmlList.length(); i++) {
           <books id=" + oldXmlList*.@id + " value=" + sliderValues*.value + " />")
   
}

```

Im obviously doing something wrong. Does anyone knoe the correct methods and syntax I need to use here?
