xPath to the rescue:

<cfxml variable="myDOM">
<doc>
<Parameter>
    <ParameterName>aAccountNumber</ParameterName>
    <ParameterValue>12345</ParameterValue>
</Parameter>
<Parameter>
    <ParameterName>bAddress</ParameterName>
    <ParameterValue>USA</ParameterValue>
</Parameter>
</doc>
</cfxml>

<cfset accountNumber =
xmlSearch(myDOM,"doc/Parameter[./ParameterName='aAccountNumber']/ParameterValue")>

<cfset address =
xmlSearch(myDOM,"doc/Parameter[./ParameterName='bAddress']/ParameterValue")>

<cfoutput>
Account Number: #accountNumber[1].xmlText#<br>
Address: #address[1].xmlText#<br>
</cfoutput>

If you have multiple account number nodes, you would need to loop over
the array accountNumber[]. Same applies to the array address[].
