Default namespace problem loading XML

Question

I am loading multiple rss/xml file. For some of them I have to use namespace (atom feeds)
so I write this lines
var atom:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
var rssXML:XML = new XML();
  default xml namespace = atom;
I test this in a outside my program but when I integrate this into my main program, it seem like it 's in conflict with all other xml
the problematic line is :    default xml namespace = atom
How do I set a namespace only for one xml object ?????
I try diferent way, but didn't get nowhere
thanks

You can declare namespace per XML (but do so before you create XML object):
var namespace1:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
default xml namespace = namespace1;
var xml1:XML = <xml1 /> ;
trace(xml1.namespace());
var namespace2:Namespace = new Namespace();
default xml namespace = namespace2;
var xml2:XML = <xml2 /> ;
trace(xml2.namespace());
var namespace3:Namespace = new Namespace("http://www.example.com/schema");
default xml namespace = namespace3;
var xml3:XML = <xml3 /> ;
trace(xml3.namespace());
Trace
http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom
http://www.example.com/schema
