[Flashcoders] AS3 XML Namespaces Hell

[Jason Van Cleave]

I have an app that is was pulling some XML like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<photos>
    <item><![CDATA[
http://www.somedomain.com/photos/jvc_1205424535bernard2.jpg]]></item>
    <item><![CDATA[
http://www.somedomain.com/photos/jvc_1205424567bernard.jpg]]></item>
    <item><![CDATA[
http://www.somedomain.com/photos/jvc_1205424535bernard2.jpg]]></item>
    <item><![CDATA[
http://www.somedomain.com/photos/jvc_1205424567bernard.jpg]]></item>
</photos>

with this i could load xml and eventually get an XMLList with

private function onXMLLoaded(e:Event):void
{
    var xml:XML = new XML(e.target.data);
    var items:XMLList = xml.item;
}

Now that we have move it over to a .net enviroment the output is like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/";>
<photos>
    <item><![CDATA[
http://www.somedomain.com/photos/jvc_1205424535bernard2.jpg]]></item>
    <item><![CDATA[
http://www.somedomain.com/photos/jvc_1205424535bernard3.jpg]]></item>
</photos>
</string>

Now I can't get an XMLList from this. I've tried just stripping it out with
this approach

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/langref/XML.html#removeNamespace()

but nothing good

Any insights?
