XML and Flash 8: Nodes or Attributes?

[brooklynzoo]

both, duhhh. but I like attributes more because you can use a: for (var in ) loop to pull them out really quickly.

Nodes for important fields, attributes for subfields.

Also be aware that you can take in xml and display it fine in flash 8, but you cannot take user input from flash interface and build xml that way, you must use the loadVars method to pass data to backend code for database storage

I currently have a dtd thing setup to link two xml files together. Now this does work, but flash 8 does not reconize the 2nd xml being linked/in the first xml, and I get a undefined message instead for the varibles in the 2nd xml. I'm trying to use these xmls to get variables in flahs8. flash 8 will not reconize that the 2nd xml is included/linked to the one that is being loaded. So my question is is there any other way to include an xml file in an xml that flash will reconze and work ok with.
