Problem with XML loading and xmlns

Question

I'm having a problem with loading an XML file that was created by Filemaker.  Filemaker will output an XML file using one of two different grammars.  One outputs in a mostly standard form that I can use with one glitch.  Flash CS4 AS3 seems to have a problem with the xmlns in one of the nodes.
Specifically:
<FMPDSORESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult">
If I remove the xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult" the file loads properly and I can access the various fields with no problem.  However, when I leave the xmlns=... in, it will trace out the XML properly but I can't access the fields using the code listed below.  This is driving me crazy!
With the xmlns part in the XML file I get the following error when it tries to load the thumbnail files:
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
I need to have it so that the user can enter/edit data and simply output the XML file from Filemaker and then Flash will load up the unaltered XML file and show the info requested by the user.  That is to say I could have the user open the XML file in a word processing application and have them delete the xmlns..., but that is rather cumbersome and not very user friendly.
I've tried every xml.ignore function I could find but it doesn't help.  Hopefully someone out there can help
Thanks,

Hi,
I was trying to use xml namespaces, so in my application I receive an XML file from the server. The file has a namespace, so when I parse the file I need to specify the namespace:
I got the following piece of xml:
<ls:exchange xmlns:ls=".../tsw" xmlns:tm="http://kxa">
    <ls:projects>
         <tm:annotation id="" date="" action="getprojects" status="responseok"/>         
    <ls:project id="" name="proj" description="..." owner="asss"  release="2" />
        <ls:projectV  id="" version="" creationdate="" modificationdate=""/ >
    </ls:project>
</ls:projects>
</ls:exchange>
and the following code
<mx:VBox label="WELCOME" verticalScrollPolicy="off" horizontalScrollPolicy="off">
      <mx:Tree id="tree" dataProvider="{srv.lastResult.project}" labelField="@name"  width="300" height="100%" itemOpen="itemOpenEvt(event);" />
</mx:VBox>
So i want to display the content of the xml (project nodes”) in a tree view, but i don’t know how to includes the namespace"ls:" in the data provider “srv.lastResult.project”. can u help me it’s urgent.
sincerly
