id is an attribute, just like Key and last_login. trace('id= '+node.firstChild.attributes['id']); And since you're using AS3, you might as well use the new e4x syntax and forget about XMLDocument (it's only there for backwards compatibility): var loader:URLLoader = evt.currentTarget as URLLo

I usually solve this by setting up a proxy on a host accepting data from flash apps through a "known" port. Case in point, if you utilize port 80 or port 443, they're commonly completely open through normal firewalls. I'd then setup either a kernel level proxy on Linux (if serving out of that)
