Flash and XML

[tweenerz]

I have a project where I am to read an XML page (on a remote server) and provide searching capabilities through the flash movie. The problem is that the xml file is going to be really big (and provided by an outside source through my specifications). I realize that it would probably be a good idea to break the page up into smaller chunks.

My question is: Is there a quick way to search an XML document using Flash other than looping through the elements one-by-one?

I would use the server to do this.

XML support is not that flash in Flash - it is fairly temperamental - have to be careful with spaces etc, so the more you can do with your server the better, then deliver the results.

You don't need to loop really either, unless you are just searching for keywords etc.
