I have a following problem, i need to access a xml “\<switch\>” node but “switch” is an actionscript keyword so following E4X notation:

```auto

myXML.switch

```

in an ActionScript statement where “myXML” is XML object doesn’t work. Does anyone know how i can still access \<switch\> node?

thanks a lot
