I have an xml file like this:

\<files\>  
\<one\>  
\<link\>[www.example.com](http://www.example.com)\</link\>  
\<name\>this is element one\</name\>  
\</one\>  
\<two\>  
\<link\>[www.otherexample.com](http://www.otherexample.com)\</link\>  
\<name\>this is element two\</name\>  
\</two\>  
\</files\>

I need to be able to cycle through each child of files (one, two, etc) and extract all their data into a 2D array (the first row contains links, the second contains names)… however I’m really rusty with XML in as2… could anyone possibly whip me up a quick code sample that could accomplish this?

I’d really appreciate the help
