Filtering XML on an attribute

My brain has melted at this point, so I’ll ask you all - how do I filter for the following attribute:

story.attributes.year == “2005”

in the code below, so that only the nodes marked “2005” are displayed? Files are attached.

//Create textfield
this.createTextField("content_txt", 10, 0, 0, 390, 0);

//Create and load styles
var pressStyle:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();
pressStyle.load("news.css");
content_txt.styleSheet = pressStyle;

//Textfield attributes
content_txt.multiline= true;
content_txt.wordWrap = true;
content_txt.html = true;
content_txt.autoSize = true;
content_txt.variable = "press";

// The first step is to activate the XML object
newsXML = new XML();
newsXML.onLoad = pressLoad;
newsXML.load("newsPress.xml");
function pressLoad(OK) {
    if (OK == true) {
        Publish(this.firstChild);
        //content_txt.htmlText = newsXML;
    }
}
function Publish(HeadlineXMLNode) {
    if (HeadlineXMLNode.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BROADCAST") {
        press = ""; // Removes "undefined" instance
        story = HeadlineXMLNode.firstChild;
        while (story != null) {
            if (story.attributes.year == "2005") { trace("2005"); }
            if (story.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "STORY") {
                lead = "";
                body = "";
                URL = "";
                element = story.firstChild;
                while (element != null) {
                    if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "LEAD") {
                        lead = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
                    }
                    if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "BODY") {
                        body = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
                    }
                    if (element.nodeName.toUpperCase() == "URL") {
                        URL = element.firstChild.nodeValue;
                    }
                    element = element.nextSibling;
                }
                press += "<font family='Verdana' size='11' color='#B2B2B2'>"+lead+"</font><br>";
            }
            story = story.nextSibling;
        }
    }
}
