XML HTTPService Looping

Question

Could anyone assist me on how to use the HTTPService to read
a xml file with a complex structure similar to this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<reports>

Now, picture this for all managers in my department for the
last 30 days; I’m trying to dynamically generate
a list of array collections, and then accessing those
collections.
the collections are stored in an Object, and reference them
in an associative array that will also generate a dashboard (i.e.
like the one posted here
http://examples.adobe.com/flex2/inproduct/sdk/dashboard/dashboard.html)
per manager (node element) displaying all days. Please respond
soon. I really need your help and really admire your tutorials
posted at www.cflex.net; they’re well commented and actually
work!!
You can email me also at [email protected] for further
details.
Thanks in advance, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to
you and family!!!

<!-- Service to load in XML -->
<mx:HTTPService

/>
It only loops through the base level node and children but
not the nodes under the children with children and so forth nested
within like such:
<managers>
<manager name="Elizabeth Jones" title="Capacity
Manager">
<platform desc="3G Authorization, Authentication,
Accounting, data call set up" tier="T1">AAA
