hey do some thing like this

if xml is like this

<mx:XML id="usersXML">
  <root>
    <users>
      <user id="1" lovesDonuts="Yes">
        <firstname>Tariq</firstname>
        <lastname>Ahmed</lastname>
      </user>
      <user id="2" lovesDonuts="Yes">
        <firstname>Jon</firstname>
        <lastname>Hirschi</lastname>
      </user>
    </users>
  </root>
</mx:XML>

then do this

usersXML.users.user[1].firstname

for id

usersXML.users.user[1].@id
