Flash AS3 & XML

Question

I was wondering if someone can help me.  I am doing a project that consists of AS3 in flash an importing an external xml data that will populate dynamic data in text fields in my flash project.  The xml is all ready set up  (pre exsisting)  data. The structure of the XML Code looks like this:
<GlobalDynamicData xmlns:xsi"http://www.w3.org/2001/xmlschema-instance">
<schema version 1.0.0>version 1</schemaversion>
<DynamicDataFields>
<DynamicDataField>
<DataField> AlertOn</DataField>
<DataValue>0</DataValue
<DataValueChange>2010-08-07</DataValueChange>
</DynamicDataFields>
<DynamicDataFields>
<DynamicDataField>
<DataField> AlertImage1</DataField>
<DataValue>example.jpg</DataValue
<DataValueChange>2010-08-07</DataValueChange>
</DynamicDataFields>
</GlobalDynamicData>
Yes,  as you can see the XML  was created  with the same  "DynamicDataField" and "DataField"  for all information data.  (There is 4 pages of data with the same structure) I am confused and I dont know how to create the ActionScript to pull this data in my .swf    The only way I know how to dynamically populate text fields using XML and actionscript  is the code below:
My action script-------->
my xml document is called: CMS_GD_AlertData.xml
<XML>
      <ConfigureItems>
<ConfigureItems>
<owner_name> example</owner_name>
<steve_name>  example2   </steve_name>
<jack_name>   example3   </jack_name>
<ken_name>   example4   </ken_name>
<AlertVicOther> example 5</AlertVicOther>
Then my instance name for the dynamic text box is called: ownerName_txt, steve_txt, jack_text......  (etc)
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "CMS_GD_AlertData.xml";
var myXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var myLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(myXMLURL);
myLoader.addEventListener("complete", xmlLoaded);
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
    myXML = XML(myLoader.data);
var xmlDoc:XMLDocument = new XMLDocument();
    xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
    var menuXML:XML = XML(myLoader.data);
    xmlDoc.parseXML(menuXML.toXMLString());
for each (var ConfigItems:XML in myXML..ConfigureItems) {
        // Set the external values into local vars for simpler script use below
    var ownerName:String = ConfigItems.owner_name.toString();
var steveName:String = ConfigItems.steve_name.toString();
var jackName:String = ConfigItems.jack_name.toString();
var AlertVicOther:String = ConfigItems.AlertVicOther.toString();
    var bgColor:String = ConfigItems.background_color.toString();
    var bgSize:Number = ConfigItems.background_size.toString();
        // And apply those variables now to the stage elements or whatever the use
    ownerName_txt.text = ownerName;
steve_txt.text = steveName;
jack_text.text = jackName;
message_text.text = AlertVicOther;
    myBG.width = bgSize;
    myBG.height = bgSize;
        myBG.gotoAndStop(bgColor);
which works fine, 
My question to everyone is How do tell flash to pull specific dynamic data if all the datafields are exactly the same... I would think all data fields that are named have to be diffrent  so when you script the code you are telling flash to go to that data source and pull from that record.  if you have the same naming convention how does flash know which one to pull from if they all have the same name..
Please help.
thank you

Try to work thru the tutorial linked below, and maybe you can gain some insight as to how to deal with an xml structure that has multiple sets of data.
