You can check out this link:

Some of the XML stuff is custom XML written in Actionscript(AS) by Branden
Hall and Colin Moock because Flash's builtin XML parser was slow on large
files. I dont know if anyone else out there knows this works, but I would be
interested in experimenting with writing an XML Object in Ruby that worked
in a similiar way to Flash if no one else is working on it. I would write it
in Ruby of course and prefer someone else to write it in C.

I dont want to step on any toes, but I'm always up for a weekend of straight
programming. =)

Zach, do you have a link or an example?  I've heard good things about
ActionScript's XML handling myself.
