The XML() function will not create an XML class out of an Object. It will only return an XML object if the Object contains and XML object.
You can look at the XMLEncoder/decoder, or build the xml manually, which is what I usually do.

Yes your suggestion did fix the issue. After some more search on the google, I did find the issue as well. By default it assigns the root node to the variable. Related to this, I did find another issue related to this which is converting an existing object to XML and then accessing it. when I convert an object, all the object values are assigned as attributes of the root node. Here is the sample code class MyEvent { var x:int; var y:int; } var event1:MyEvent = new MyEvent(10, 10); var xmlVar:XML = new XML(event1); When I dump xmlVar, it looks like this [MyEvent x="10" y="10"] and if I try to access it like this [EMAIL PROTECTED] or xmlVar.attribute("x"), I get the same error saying syntax error. Howver if I manually create it using xml notation like <event x="10" y="10" />, [EMAIL PROTECTED] works perfectly. I dont why it puts "[" instead of "<" when an on object is converted. Any idea how to resolve this issue?

A call to the first node (the root) is not necessary. Try tracing xmlVar.x instead. Also check these rules for good XML writing at http://www.w3school s.com/xml/ xml_dtd.asp <http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_dtd.asp> Hope it helps :0)
