Ah, got it.
The <mx:Model> tag converts everything to a flat object. So the minute you
use it, you no longer have xml.
It's still easy enough to loop through though.
var result:Object = myData.getItemAt(0);
for (var name:String in result)
{
trace(name + " :: " + result[name]);
}
should output
apple :: 81768
orange :: 60310
banana :: 43357
