It seems like from my testing that if you try to retrieve an XMLList from an
XML by using that notation it will always return a valid XMLList, but if the
node doesn't actually exist, the XMLList is simply empty. Check the length
of the returned XMLList:
if (xml2.lobby.length > 0) {
trace("2: in the lobby");
}
