Hi,

I new to using xml files in flash so this may be simple!

I have an XMLConnector component loading a test xml file with this content.

```auto
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<content>
<section>
<page>
    <id>1</id>
    <title>Page1 title</title>
    <copy>Page1 copy</copy>
</page>
<page>
    <id>2</id>
    <title>Page2</title>
    <copy>Page2 copy</copy>
</page>
<page>
    <id>3</id>
    <title>Page3</title>
    <copy>Page3 copy</copy>
</page>
</section>
</content>

```

How can I get the \<title\> and \<copy\> values for a given \<id\> out of the XMLComponent. The final xml file is likely to be large so once I know how to address the nodes in the XMLComponent I can write a function to return the node info.
