Reading into plist files

Question

Hi,
I'm building an app that relies heavily on reading plist files. I've got the basics down using System Events, for example:
tell application "System Events"
set plistFile to "/Library/Preferences/com.domain.prefs.plist"
set returnVal to (value of property list item "MyValue" of property list file plistFile)
display dialog returnVal
end tell
To extract from the following plist:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>MyValue</key>
<string>1000</string>
</dict>
</plist>
But of course I need to read further into plist files, count the number of re-occurrences of certain items and so on. For example, if I wanted to read into the following plist file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>MyValue</key>
<key>ArrayInfo</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Bool</key>
<true/>
<key>Value1</key>
<string>1000</string>>
</dict>
<dict>
<key>Bool</key>
<true/>
<key>Value1</key>
<string>4000</string>>
</dict>
</array>
</dict>
</plist>
How can I extract, for example, the number of records within the array and then create an AS list of each re-occurrence of 'Value1' or 'bool'?
Any help on this or any links to good tutorials will be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Satimage also has a XMLLib osax with terminology to handle property lists, for example:
set TheOpenPlist to PlistOpen (choose file)
repeat with x in items of (PlistGet TheOpenPlist key "ArrayInfo")
      log x
end repeat
PlistClose TheOpenPlist
There is documentation and some examples here.
