A website I'm working on (using AS2 because it's oldschool) has a larger index .swf file that loads sub-swfs using loadMovie("foo1.swf", placeToShowSwf). There's foo1.swf through 4, which is silly because the only thing that's different between them is a single number in the address of an xml file that tells it what content to load. So I...

Lately I've been using XPathDocument and XNavigator to parse an XML file for a given XPath and attribute. It's been working very well, when I know in advance what the XPath is.
