Extracting XML from webservice result with Namespaces using E4X

Question

Hi,
I need to extract some data from proprietary Web Service (to be fed to HierarchicalData for dataProvider of ADG).
So I made service.returnType=’e4x’;
In that case it returns data as XML.
I need to get useful data from it after Snapshot:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header xmlns:msdwHdr="http://xml.msdw.com/ns/appmw/soap/1.0/header">
<msdw:RequestID xmlns:msdw="http://xml.msdw.com/ns/appmw/soap/1.0/header">restsoap#1390182244050#197728273958044232</msdw:RequestID>
<msdwHdr:FinalMessage>true</msdwHdr:FinalMessage>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ADSSnapshotResponse xmlns="http://xml.ms.com/ns/appmw/dataserver/1.0">
<Snapshot seqNo="0">
<BASE_ELEMENT_NAME BASE_ELEMENT_NAME="4.11.2.0">
Using E4X, like:
var root:XML = event.result as XML; //good!
var xmlRoot1:XMLList = root['SOAP-ENV:Body'].ADSSnapshotResponse.Snapshot.BASE_ELEMENT_NAME;
it does return XMLList (tried different variants), but debugger shows nothing at all inside that XMLList.
var root1:XMLList = root.children();  // that returns valid XMLList with 2 XML elements inside
But all other data I could not get if I use any E4X:
Can I skip Envelope, going to Body as one of its children?  suppose I can...
a) root.SOAP-ENV:Body would give compilation errors because of ‘-‘, ‘:’
b) root.Body gives blank XMLList
c) root.Body[0] returns NULL  
Any idea how to extract the load from ADS Response (envelope)?
What can I do regarding XML Namespaces in E4X ?
If I set service.returnType="xml" it returns data as XMLNode's.
But I prefer to use E4X if possible.
Please help!
TIA,
Oleg.
P.S.: using Flex 4.5.1 with Flex3 ADG.

not an implementable option for us and cost prohibitive.
