I wanted to know if it was possible to store XML data in an array, and then call  
this data later on in a MC.

so I have somehing like this.

```auto

xmlarray = [];

xmlFile = "users.xml";
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.load(xmlFile);
xmlData.onLoad = function(success) { 
    if (success) {
        path = xmlData.firstChild;
        nodes = path.childNodes;
        for(i=0; i<nodes.length; i++) {
            xmlarray* = path.childNodes*.attributes.area;
        }
    }

}

```

MC code.

```auto

trace(_root.xmlarray);

```

I wanted to know if this was possible to do
